In some remote reaches of Marin County, intermittent and lengthy power outages are adding up to days in the dark.
The tiny town of Marshall sits on the edge of Tomales Bay and, even after it stopped raining, water was gushing everywhere. Unlike the big city, when fallen trees or high winds cut off the electricity here, there isn't an alternative power circuit to switch to.
"We've been closed ... we've been without power," she said."So, it's been -- not a lot's going on. We've been here daily to re-ice our perishables, throw out whatever batch is bad for that day and do it again the next day." That's what it's like in a small town like Marshall. They don't spend a lot of time complaining about the weather or its effects.
And though they have a generator at their house, for most of a 48-hour-long outage, Steve Hadland and Anneke van Derveem left it off to save gas. They soon rediscovered the romance of candlelight.
