California braces for extreme weather as PG&E warns of outages and floods
PG&E has issued warnings to residents in high-risk areas ahead of a major weather shift. The storm is expected to bring strong winds, heavy rain, and mountain snow, with potential power outages and flooding. Meanwhile, China Peak resort prepares for the storm while hiring for the upcoming ski season.
PG&E advises residents at risk of power outages to have backup food, flashlights, and charged devices. The utility's crews are on alert and inspecting areas likely to see outages, including Auberry and Oakhurst. PG&E expects high winds, up to 50 miles per hour, to cause outages due to trees and branches.
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for areas above 8,000 feet, with potential snowfall of a couple of feet. China Peak resort expects the storm to aid in snowmaking but not enough to open, with plans to open on November 28. The resort has several job openings available, including ski/snowboard instructors and lift operators. However, the search results do not contain information about employees recruited for China Peak ski resort; they only mention China Peak's Mini Skier program for 3-year-olds.
Travelers should avoid flooded roads as their depth and contents are unknown. A Flood Watch is in effect for Thursday due to heavy rain that could impact rivers, creeks, and low-lying areas.
Residents are urged to prepare for potential power outages and flooding. China Peak resort uses the storm to prepare for the upcoming ski season, with job openings available. The weather shift is expected to bring strong winds, heavy rain, and mountain snow.
