PG&E says their controversial power shutoffs are still in effect for 245,000 customers. Yesterday PG&E CEO Bill Johnson made his first public appearance since the utility started saying it would cut power earlier this week. PG&E's been criticized for powering down such a vast portion of its grid, and for failing to keep residents informed. PG&E's website has been down for much of this week for many customers.
