LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – With Pacific Gas and Electric intending to shut off power again on Tuesday to communities due to another wind event, Lake County's schools and community colleges reported that classes have been canceled.

PG&E said late Monday that it intends to cut power to Lake County at around 7 a.m. on Tuesday, ahead of another red flag warning.

Hundreds of Lake County residents reported on Lake County News' Facebook page on Monday evening that they still hadn't had power restored from the current public safety power shutoff.

Lake County News checked social media messages from districts and separately confirmed with the Lake County Office of Education that all school districts would be closed on Tuesday.

The rule of thumb for districts has been that if they have power at 6 a.m., they will hold classes. But with power expected to be shut off so soon after that deadline, they have opted to close.

Both Mendocino College and Woodland Community College's Lake County Campus in Clearlake were closed on Monday due to the ongoing shutoff that began Saturday.

Steve Wylie, executive dean of Woodland Community College's Lake County Campus, confirmed that the campus there will be closed on Tuesday due to the newly scheduled outage.

Mendocino College also confirmed on Facebook that classes are canceled on Tuesday.

Current estimates are that an all-clear from the shutoff could come on Wednesday morning, with PG&E's goal being to restore power within 48 hours of the all-clear pending inspections and repair to any electrical equipment damage. 

Schools around the county lost days two to three days each due to the public safety power shutoff that took place beginning on Oct. 9, as Lake County News has reported.
