Hundreds of thousands of Californians face blackouts amid heatwave

Hundreds of thousands of Californians could be hit with preemptive blackouts after a record-breaking heatwave rolled in Friday.

As temperatures in the state tipped 112 degrees, the corporation that runs its electric grid announced rolling blackouts beginning at 6:30 p.m. for up to 250,000 homes and businesses in the northern and central areas of the state.

It marks the first time such rotating blackouts were implemented since the state faced its energy crisis nearly 20 years ago, the San Fransisco Chronicle reported.
