ORIGINAL STORY (Saturday, Nov. 23) - SoCal Edison may shutoff power in unincorporated areas of Santa Barbara County, according to a tweet posted Saturday from the Santa Barbara County Office of Emergency Management.
Officials say the PSPS (Public Safety Power Shutoff) will include the areas between the cities of Goleta and Santa Barbara, starting from Paradise Road down Turnpike Road to More Mesa.
The OEM has not yet stated why the PSPS may be enacted, but it is likely due to the strong wind gusts that have been forecasted by the National Weather Service, that could be over 30 mph.
This is a developing story.
Check back later for more details.
