Scattered outages throughout East Bay

The agency which manages the state's power grid -- has ordered another "Flex Alert" for Wednesday. The California Independent Systems operator, Cal-ISO, is asking everyone to conserve energy by turning off all non-essential lights and avoid using major appliances until after 7:00 pm.

The Flex Alert will remain in effect at least through tomorrow.
