The Latest: People say they got scant notice of power outage
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Latest on tens of thousands of people losing power in California because of wildfire danger (all times local):
11:15 a.m.
Some California residents who had their power shut off as a precaution against wildfires say they did not get proper warning ahead of the widespread outage.
Ice cream shop owner Stewart Munnerlyn said he was scrambling Monday to borrow a generator from a customer. His ice creamery in Pine Grove, about 50 miles (80 kilometers) east of Sacramento, lost power Sunday night.
He says he stands to lose about $8,000 worth of ice cream and would have liked more notice from Pacific Gas & Electric.
Munnerlyn says he got text messages over the weekend saying power might be shut off for wildfire safety.
