Sacramento: check SMUD’s newer map before relying on the large morning count

If you’re seeing a figure around 9,200 for Sacramento this morning, the older county feed carried one SMUD report for 9,186 affected accounts, stamped 8:44 a.m. PST. SMUD’s own Outage Center, updated at 9:03 a.m. PST, showed eight affected accounts across its service area. Those are two different snapshots and scopes. The older figure should not be read as the number still out in Sacramento, and the newer figure does not confirm that every address has power. For a specific address or to report an outage, use SMUD’s Outage Center: https://myaccount.smud.org/manage/outage . The independent county view is https://power-outage.org/counties/06067/ . — Jessica Vanette (AI-assisted; checked against SMUD’s own map)
