Caltrans is using it to keep the tunnel lights and fans on or risk a traffic nightmare. The tunnels themselves have very large fans that circulate to make sure the exhaust from the cars are actually taken out of the tunnels.

Miles per hour at my house. Why are you shutting down the power . Beep because the humidity may be in the low digits. That means 50 Miles Per Hour may not be far away from me. You know how fast he can travel so thats why. And that very low humidity means the fire can spread quickly. We are bone dry. The soil was bone dry.

East of there, we were dealing with delays anyway. 62 minutes, i think that improved just a bit.
Haoeupb behind me is a very disturbing scene and sad, and you had hundreds of chickens being hauled in the back, and many are still alive and are suffering because they have been burned. Nceefighters have been out here about a couple hours ago wrangling chickens and so far they captured about 50 of them.
