Itâs been one of the hottest weeks of the year in Northern California. But this morning the heat has broken. It mustâve been worse for the 50,000 or so people who lost power over the past couple of days. To reduce the risk of electrical equipment sparking a wildfire, PG&E shut down parts of the grid in the Sierra Foothills and wine country. The powerâs back on now for most customers. The California Report’s Lily Jamali visited a cooling center in Oroville to see how people coped with the heat and the loss of power.
