Genoa, Nev. — There’s a possibility public safety power outage will be implemented along the Sierra Front by NV Energy and Liberty Utilities. Liberty issued a notice on Saturday that a shutoff could occur between 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. The foothills between Genoa and Highway 50 are subject to a possible between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.
All that depends on how windy it actually gets today. Minden is forecast to see 20-25 mph winds between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., with 30-40 mph gusts. It’s really warm out this morning, at 51 degrees, which is only a half-dozen degrees off the forecast high temperature.
Local, state and federal offices are closed for Veterans Day today. While banks and the Post Office are closed, most businesses are open today, including The Record-Courier.
Around 25 Marines turned out to the Douglas County Community & Senior Center on Sunday for the 249th birthday of their service. Ninth Marines Corp. Ed Bryant was the oldest Marine, having served from 1954-1958.
I overheard that the American Legion will be distributing poppies in front of Smith’s today. I haven’t heard, yet, if the Douglas Historical Society will be ringing the bell at the Carson Valley Museum at 11 a.m. today as they have in past years.
East Fork Firefighter Kevin May was featured in an L.A. Times story https://archive.ph/cBLhi about finding a woman’s wedding ring after her house was lost to the Mountain Fire. East Fork sent an engine down to the fire near Oxnard, Calif., last week.
Firefighters were conducting drills over the weekend at a place across from Stephanie Way along Highway 395, if you’re wondering about the apparatus you saw there.
The Highway 395-88 corridor through Carson Valley could see winds of 50-plus mph today before it dies down late afternoon. The forecast calls for around a tenth of an inch of rain this afternoon, if any.
