The thread of wildfire is not over everywhere. Good evening. Pg e started checking their equipment today but high winds kept them from reaching many areas. Here are the latest numbers, they have cut power to 345,000 customers in Northern California but by 6 pm they restored power to more than 100,000 of those customers. They hope to have everybodys power back on by tomorrow night. The feeling among many is the bay area dodged a bullet here. Reporter it is a big relief, tonight there was a update, a say in some places the wind gusts were 89 Miles Per Hour and the inspectors did find places where trees blew into power lines and they say they could have sparked fires. Moonlight on monday night was the only bright spot in parts of lafayette. We do not have a generator, we were modestly prepared. Reporter some residents will be spending another night in the dark as pg e tries to bring grades back online safely after the shut off. All day traffic lights were not operating and businesses had

The wind advisory allowed to expire earlier today, but if we get into years of the north bay, you know see relative humidity is down to 5 in many areas, including sassoon and the vacaville area. Taking a look at the big rock area, we have 7 relative humidity here, and into the Oakland Hills, relative humidity here between 5 and 10 as well. So while the winds have eased up, still very breezy in some areas, and we continue with the red flag warning because of those very dry conditions. I want to point you over towards santa cruz

Jonathan glenn, that reminds me , listening to the president s speech, im wondering for you as , did you hear anything new that needed to be fact checked . we fact to mend also the democrats on a daily basis. We were pretty well prepared. Cash bail,ne about he was criticizing biden for supporting a policy that governor Chris Christie of new jersey has implemented. That popped up in the past week, but we were prepared because we had seen he started to say that. Otherwise, it is a litany of his golden oldies, the greatest economy in the
