– Five people are dead after a small plane crashed near a post office in southern Louisiana on Saturday, authorities said. Lafayette Fire Chief Robert Benoit told KLFY-TV that the aircraft was an eight-passenger plane. Photos of the area where the plane crashed showed a blackened car as well as tree limbs scattered in the parking lot of a post office. The smoldering remains of the plane were resting in a field near the post office. The fourth-largest city in Louisiana, Lafayette had a population of about 130,000 according to the 2018 census, and is located about 135 miles west of New Orleans.

It wasn't clear if power, that for many went out Saturday, would be restored before the next round of outages. What was clear was that patience was wearing thin and frustration at the utility was growing. Powerful winds were driving multiple fires across California and the deliberate shut-offs were intended to prevent blazes. Many Californians are skeptical of PG&E's motives for the blackouts, and feel the utility is more concerned with its finances than the massive inconvenience it's causing. The Public Utilities Commission plans to open a formal investigation into the blackouts within the next month, allowing regulators to gather evidence and question utility officials.

(AP Photo/Ben Margot)SANTA ROSA, CA Frustration and anger mounted across Northern California as the state's biggest utility began another round of fire-prevention blackouts Tuesday that could leave millions of people without electricity, some for five days or longer. It included the Sierra Nevada foothills and parts of well-to-do Marin County, population 260,000, north of San Francisco. In Lafayette, near San Francisco, where many people lost power on Saturday, people criticized PG&E for poorly communicating about the shutoffs. The California Public Utilities Commission plans to open an investigation into the blackouts that could result in fines against PG&E if it is found to have violated any regulations. ___Associated Press writers Jocelyn Gecker in Berkeley and Lafayette, California, and Jonathan J. Cooper in Phoenix contributed to this story.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA Pacific Gas & Electric Co. said Monday its power lines may have started two wildfires over the weekend in the San Francisco Bay Area. PG&E told the California Public Utilities Commission that a worker responded to the first fire around 4:45 p.m. Sunday and was told firefighters believe contact between a power line and a communication line may have caused it. Contra Costa fire Department personnel on site told the worker they were looking at the transformer as a potential ignition source, a company official wrote. Powerful winds are driving multiple fires across Northern California and forcing power shut-offs intended to prevent downed power lines that can spark blazes. PG&E is under severe financial pressure after its equipment has been blamed for a series of destructive wildfires in Northern California over the past three years.
