California wildfires - communications status

There have been many large wildfires in western states for the last couple of months, but most have been in less populated areas. Several folks have asked about cell phone problems because of the fires in California. Sonoma and Napa county sheriff departments are reporting widespread power outages, and spotty cell phone service in those counties. No specifics about how many cell towers are impacted. Landlines seem to be less affected. Comcast has announced open access to its WiFi access points in Napa and Sonoma county.
