Planned PG&E Outage On Saturday Affecting Parts Of Arcata And McKinleyville

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) will upgrade/replace equipment at the Arcata Substation this upcoming weekend. The project, which takes place on March 13th, is necessary to maintain the integrity of our electrical system and meet the continued increase of electrical demand in the area. The work will start at 2 p.m. Saturday and last until approximately 12 p.m. Sunday, and will result in the necessity to shut down power to customers in parts of Arcata and McKenleyville.

Areas Impacted:

Southeast Arcata: Including Fickle Hill, Sunny Brae, Buttermilk Lane, and Old Arcata Rd south to Highland St.

West Arcata: Arcata Bottoms, west of V St and north of Vassaide Rd to the Mad River.

West Arcata: West of J, North of Samoa, to Janes Rd and north to Upper Bay Road.

Arcata: Customers from 6th St north along the Alliance Rd corridor to Simpson Lane, between J St and Q St.

McKinleyville:  West of Central Ave. including McKinleyville Ave from the Mad River north to Murray Rd

No longer impacted:

Approximately 586 customers between Hwy 101, West to "I" St. and from 8th street, south including South G St corridor. This would include the traffic lights along Samoa Blvd., the wastewater treatment plant on South G, City Hall, Police Department, and Safeway shopping center.

KHUM Is Tweaking Streams

We are changing our low-bitrate stream!  The change brings better audio quality and compatibility with more audio players, including most mobile phones!  This means that KHUM will be available to people on-the-go all over the world. 

However, soon our Windows Media-based stream will no longer work. Please update your links.

What do you think? Is it an improvement? Tell Mike: mike@khum.com

Tune in with all other players (iPhone, too!)
High Quality: http://lostcoast.streamguys.us/khum-hi.m3u
Low Quality:  http://lostcoast.streamguys.us/khum-lo.m3u

Tune in with Windows Media Player

High Quality: http://khum.streamguys.us/khum96.asx

Low Quality:  http://khum.streamguys.us/khum32.asx

We are ditching the native windows media stream, but windows media player can still access the mp3 stream.

So, Did We Get a Tsunami?

Answer: yep.

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

** Update **

 

The Pacific Basin, including Humboldt County, experienced a tsunami this afternoon.  There have been no reports of damage or injuries in the county.  The first wave action in Humboldt Bay was observed at the North Spit tidal gauge (inside the bay) just after 1:30 p.m. Some witnesses described the event as a quick change of tides.  Many witnesses said they did not notice anything unusual. 

 

It is important to note that the wave action generated by a tsunami can last for hours. Dangerous currents may still exist and citizens are encouraged to use caution near beaches, harbors and bays.
