hello, everyone, i'm kate snow. 46 >> and i'm savannah sellers. "nbc news daily" starts right

now. today is tuesday, march 28th, 2023. breaking news, inside the attack. dramatic footage capturing how police managed to take down the school shooter in nashville. now we're hearing from a friend of the attacker who got a message from the shooter moments before. shattered by storms, communities across the tornado-ravaged south banding together to clean up today. how soon help from the white house is expected to arrive. migrant tragedy. more than three dozen are dead in a fire at a migration near the u.s./mexico border. what we're learning. season for sneezing. doctors warn allergy season is starting earlier and lasting longer. this year why scientists say climate change might be to blame. we do begin this hour with that breaking news, chilling new video capturing the deadly school shooting in nashville as it unfolded. >> monday's attack killed six people, three children and three adults. authorities have now released

several videos, one of them appears to show the shooter firing an assault rifle to blast their way through a locked side door. another shows the killer wearing a tactical vest walking through the hallways of a school. authorities say the shooter once attended there. >> reporter: we're learning more information about the victims, the three who died were all 9 years old. the adults who were killed were the head of the school, a substitute teacher and a beloved member of the custodial staff. nbc news' catie beck is there. we saw body cam footage. what does it show? >> reporter: it is disturbing and you watch the first responders get to the scene and go in heavily armed searching for the suspect but also trying to clear the classroom to make

sure there are not children hiding or in harm's way. they head up to the second floor and the shooter is standing there at the window firing out of a broken window down at police when she is confronted by these officers and then killed. so this is a very dramatic and intense series of events on this body cam video and seeing just sort of how the community today as a whole is reacting to it. a lot of people are still feeling shocked and feeling grief and feeling the weight of the loss of these three children and three adults, we spoke to a few moments ago a couple that was very close to the head of the school, katherine koonce, the police chief mentioned in his latest press conference they believe she was killed in the hallway, perhaps even moving toward the shooter at the time. this couple traveled from atlanta also educators to show their support and pay their respects saying she was one of the most amazing and

compassionate educators they ever had the pleasure of working with. they were so devastated and so at a loss, they had nothing to do except get on a plane and be here in nashville to try to tell people about her so that's what they've been doing throughout the day. >> catie, just heartbreaking details. so important to remember the specifics about these people who lost their lives and the family and friends that are left. catie, we're learning new details about what the shooter was doing in the hours before the attack. what can you tell us? >> reporter: of course, that's all part of the ongoing investigation. list looking into that manifesto reading it line by line trying to sort through what the possible motive was. we know there were maps and know this was a premeditated plan and that the shooter had carefully even figured out how to enter the school building, where the surveillance cameras were but also beyond that was interacting on social media with other people warning about what was coming, one of those people was

a former basketball teammate who she reached out to on instagram sending messages back and forth telling this friend that she was going to die, that something bad was going to happen and that she would leave plenty of writings to explain why. here's what that friend had to say to us about the interaction. >> what would you do if you were sent a message like that, you know, it was just, like, hold on -- i don't really know, i sent a message to my dad, and i was like, do you think i should say something. he text back yes in all caps so that's when i started making calls and called the suicide prevention hotline and they told me to call the national office. >> reporter: and just a few hours ago the police chief telling us that he had spoken with the parents of the shooter who say that she was going through some type of emotional disorder being treated by a doctor and that they did not believe there were any firearms

still in possession. they thought that the one firearm she had had she had gotten rid of. in reality seven firearms had been purchased from five different stores legally but they were unaware of the fact that those guns were in their home and that they would ever be used in this particular type of situation. >> wow. >> guys? >> katie, thank you. stay with us, later this hour we'll speak with a reporter in nashville who covered yesterday's shooting but she herself is also a survivor of a school shooting herself. our conversation coming up at the bottom of the hour. let's turn to that it deadly tornado in mississippi, survivors are promising to rebuild their devastated communities, cleanup efforts under way as people are seeing what is salvageable interest their homes. this woman found something priceless. look at this photo album still intact among the rubble. now on the west coast california is getting hit with a new round of wet weather moving from the

north to the south covering it all with nbc news correspondent bennie thompson in rolling fork, mississippi, we will get to the west coast in a moment. you've been speaking with survivors, so many who lost loved ones or friends or homes or businesses and what are they telling you? >> reporter: yeah, well, there's certainly a lot of grief here, but people are beginning to think about how to move forward and we've seen that on display here today. the electrical trucks are out continuing to work to get electricity going there as heavy machinery going up and down the streets with volunteers offering to help clear people's homes for those people who do still have homes standing, and i want to tell you this story through the eyes of one man who we spoke to. he came to his home to pick up mementos. he doesn't have anything left in terms of the structure of his home. his next stop is going to be to a mobile clinic that popped up so he can get his blood pressure medication. it's been three days since he's been able to take that. while he was here, there were

volunteers coming up giving him battery packs so he can charge his electrical devices, food, things like that so that he can keep going and he has applied for fema aid. he says that application was approved in about 45 minutes but the question is when will he receive the aid? he doesn't know how much aid he has been approved for so still a lot of questions here as people continue to figure out these coming weeks and months, guys, back to you. >> priscilla thompson, thank you very much for reporting on the ground. stay with us as we bring in meteorologist bill karins and talk again now about the west coast, a nasty storm system hitting california again as we speak. time this out for us. >> just look at this. it looks like a bill huge cinnamon bun off the coast, a powerful storm and seeing the heaviest rain and snow in the cascades down to the sierra and san francisco up to sacramento, the peak of it at this moment. rainfall additionally from here on out, we'll get at least another two inches in the mountainous areas and coastal

areas, senator of san francisco it will taper off. but snow is many coming down hard all night long in the mountain passes. locally two to four feet once again in the central portions of the sierra and wind gusts high, not like the last storm we had, only high wind warnings in the southern portions of the oregon coastline and a lot of high wind advisories. as far as maximum wind gust, 44 possible in the next couple of hours, tahoe, monmouth and then on friday we're still watching this closely. it does look like another severe weather outbreak with tornadoes is possible in our nation's midsection. >> we know you will keep us posted. thank you both very much. we're still waiting to hear whether a new york city grand jury will indict former president donald trump. >> on monday the panel heard new testimony from david pecker. now, he's the former publish of "the national enquirer" who helped arrange the hush money deal with stormy daniels. it comes amid new developments

involving another grand jury investigating the former president. >> nbc news correspondent ron allen joins us and also with us, laura jarrett. ron, let's start with you. i understand we've got some new information. >> yes, according to three sources familiar with the situation with the grand jury, we now know that the grand jury is not going to meet tomorrow. their usual days are monday, wednesday and thursday and we also understand that thursday when they meet they are not going to deal with the trump matter. there are other matters that the grand jury is looking at. new york is a busy place and that means we are not expecting a vote by the grand jury this week. it's now been some ten days or so since we first got that signal when trump's attorneys were offered the opportunity for him to come and testify before the grand jury and it's been about a week or so before trump said he was going to be arrested on tuesday of last week. >> that is a week from today. >> meanwhile he continues to

blast the whole process on social media and on tv last night on fox calling it the new form of election interference. >> laura, let me bring you in. we mentioned some other news, another grand jury investigating former president donald trump. what can you tell us? >> this is a significant decision out of washington, d.c. a federal judge has ruled that the former vice president mike pence will have to testify as part of special counsel jack smith's investigation into trump's efforts to interfere in the election. now, that's meaningful because smith has been trying to get at the conversations between trump and pence for weeks now, pence had tried to block it essentially saying that those conversations should be protected and that he was immunized given his role as president of the senate on january 6th. he tried to say that should block him from testifying. the judge did not go that far, instead saying that because of trump's alleged illegality as part of those conversations, that they're fair game. now, it remains to be seen

whether in fact pence will testify or whether he could appeal the ruling to the d.c. circuit or then to the supreme court which remains to be seen. we'll wait and see what he does, guys. >> laura jarrett and ron desantis allen, thank you both for your reporting on this. coming up, what we're learning about the ski crash involving gwyneth paltrow after her accuser took the stand. you're watching g "nbc news s daily."" cacan't keep m migraine? qulipta®® can helelp prevent mimigraines. cacan't keep m migraine? you cacan't alwaysys prevent whatat's going o on outside.. that's whyhy qulipta®® helps whatat's going o on ins. ququlipta®® gets righght to w. in a 3-m-month studydy, qul® significanantly reduceced mony mimigraine dayays anand the majojority of pepee reduced d them by 5050 to 1. ququlipta®® blocks cgcgrp a a protein bebelieved to be e a cause ofof migraine. quliptpta® is s a preventite treatmentt fofor episodicic migraine.. most commomon side effffecte fofor episodicic migraine.. nanausea, consnstipation,, anand tirednesess. lelearn how ababbvie couldd hehelp you savave on qulipip. nanausea, consnstipation,, anand tirednesess. if you've e had sensititivit, ththose zingerers can realally e some of ththat joltingng pai. there e is one grereat solutin out t there withth sensodyne. it creatates a prprotective barrier, and now ththey get to o feel li,

utah courtroom today on monday, the jury heard testimony from the man who claims the actress crashed into him on a ski slope seven years ago leaving him with serious permanent injuries. paltrow is countersuing claiming he, the other skier is actually at fault. nbc news correspondent maura barrett is following the trial for us. >> what happened today? >> we heard from the two people involved in that accident and the big problem here is a lot of this trial has been based on he said/she said and very limited witness testimony. we heard from craig ramon, a witness skiing with him that day who described what he saw in terms of the crash, but then we've also heard from experts and physics who explain how exactly the fall happened and what injuries could have come from it. i want you to hear from some of that testimony this morning that puts both gwyneth paltrow and terry sanderson's testimony at odds.

>> we have two versions of the accident. we have mr. ramon's version and miss paltrow's version. i have assessed both using physics and biomechanics, and i'm sorry to say mr. ramon's version does not meet with the laws of physics, not consistent, internally consistent, and miss paltrow's is. >> reporter: now, a lot of the conversation yesterday afternoon and this morning has revolved around the physics of it all. they've shown animation, some very technical stick figure drawing explaining the laws of physics and how would someone would fall if they fell from behind. whether the skis got tangled as they might have overlaid over each other and what the injuries could be consistent with. ssanderson saays he has rib injuries as well as brain injuries but heard from the ski instructor with paltrow that day as well as the ski patrol medical team that had helped sanderson to the medical tent after the fact. they said at the time there

weren't any injuries consistent with a head injury so this is seven years down the line from when the accident happened. it's a lot of he said/she said and ultimately the jury will have to find who is most credible. >> no video. not like somebody has a magic video to show exactly what happened. who else might testify? are there other eyewitnesses? >> reporter: eyewitnesses' memories might be a little different. we'll hear from more experts who can analyze more of what we've talked about in terms of those witness testimonies, but we also anticipate hearing from gwyneth paltrow's kids and potentially other people she was skiing with that day on that lesson to hear about what their perception of it was but, again, that's all witness testimony. no video exists as we know. >> maura barrett, thank you. a 25-year-old american woman was found dead at a luxury resort in mexico. video of the moments leading up to shanquella robinson's death amir to show her being beaten. sparking outrage in the u.s.

nbc news correspondent zinhle essamuah spoke with her family about the drawn out investigation and what they plan to do next. >> reporter: five months after the death of an american, shanquella robinson, at a luxury resort in mexico, there are no arrests and the woman's family says there are no answers. >> she was a strong, brilliant black woman, the best that we have to offer the world, and that's why we're going to continue to fight for justice for shanquella robinson. >> reporter: on thursday, prominent civil rights attorney ben crump and sue-ann robinson holding a press conference. according to the family, shanquella was found dead october 29th in san jose del cabo while on vacation with six peers who said she died from alcohol poisoning. where were you when you heard the noise? >> i was out eating and shopping. >> did you believe it? >> no, it's like a nightmare. it's still like a nightmare. >> reporter: the mother of 25-year-old shanquella and

earlier this month, she and the family's legal team sent a letter to the white house and u.s. department of state demanding swift diplomatic intervention. press secretary karine jean-pierre responding at a press briefing offering her condolences. >> the tragedy is just devastating, and we've been following the news here, but because there's an fbi investigation under way, there's very little that we can say. >> reporter: the family's legal team later sharing an autopsy from mexican authorities stating shanquella suffered a violent death. her death certificate stating the cause is severe spinal cord injury. her family's legal team traveling to mexico on a fact-finding mission saying the investigations are not moving fast enough citing the recent american kidnapping case in mexico in early march when four americans on a medical tourism trip were kidnapped by a cartel, two murdered. u.s. law enforcement intervening within days. >> we know it can be done swiftly because we just saw the mexican kidnapping case, which is different substantially from

shanquella's case, but it shows that u.s. law enforcement can quickly get on the same page with mexican law enforcement in order to resolve a criminal matter. this absolutely is a case where justice delayed could lead to justice denied. >> reporter: the family is calling for any americans responsible to be extradited to mexico or for the state department to request concurrent jurisdiction over the case. if no actions are taken, they plan to organize a demonstration on the 200th day of shanquella's death. >> shanquella was a kind-hearted person, a good person, smart and had a good heart. i don't know how anyone could have done her like that. >> reporter: zinhle essamuah, nbc news. still ahead why the nashville school shooting hit close to home for one reporter. you're watching "nbc news daily." e to find the cheapest gas in town. and which supermarket gives you the most bang for your buck. something else that's good to know? if you have medicare and medicaid, you may be able to get more healthcare benefits through a humana medicare advantage dual eligible

i was in eighth grade, and all this is bringing -- it's just flooding back, flashbacks for me, and what i went through with my classmates, i was actually in the hallway during break when the gunman opened fire shooting one of my peers and killing them and just after hearing the gunshots, i just knew to run and hide. i hid underneath the risers in my class, and those minutes and hours of waiting to be released by police officers, that just felt like a lifetime. >> joylyn bukovac joins us now. so good to have you here. can i ask, how are you right now? >> i am hanging in there considering yesterday i think i was functioning out of a place of pure shock. as soon as i heard people in the newsroom say school shooting, it's been confirmed, my heart just sank to the very bottom of my stomach. i could not believe it and begin to wrap my mind around what was going on, what people in

nashville were experiencing, it was something that's way too familiar with me. i was in the school where it's supposed to be safe, you're supposed to feel safe, and i never would have imagined that i would have heard a popping, which ended up being a gunshot and witnessing one of my classmates who got shot and died because of it. it was just so much adrenaline pumping through my veins yesterday. it took me right back to that spot that i was at 13 years ago whenever i was hiding and completely uncertain about what would happen next. will i see my family again, and i know that's something that was racing through many people's minds here in nashville today, and that just breaks my heart. >> you've been pretty private about that experience in middle school, or at least it hasn't come up with the way it did on air this time. what made you decide to mention that on air while reporting about this in that moment? >> reporter: well, i don't talk

about it often, but i do reflect on it probably about once a day in my day-to-day life, i think about that family that lost their loved one in the shooting that i was at, and it's just something that i just keep in my heart, and the reason why i felt compelled to share it yesterday, i was very hesitant, but there came a time when i was like, you know, i was seeing the parents running with babies in their arms, with their kids in their arms trying to get away from everything and just trying to get their kids home safely, something that they might have thought they weren't going to do, and i just knew that they needed my insight because i was once there hiding, and i know how traumatizing it was and how emotionally taxing it was. i wasn't up to talk about it with a therapist until several

hours later. about two years later i was ready to unpack it a little bit, but it took a lot of time, and now i'm a mom and have a 1-year-old, and i'm scared for the future too just like many parents in nashville and across the country, so i, as a mom, i wanted to help other moms learn how to navigate these trying times that they'll face. >> you mentioned, joylyn, on twitter, you mentioned being a mom and being a survivor and saying, something needs to change. i know you're a reporter. do you have any thoughts on what needs to change or whether in tennessee there could be changes coming? >> well, unfortunately, i don't have the answers to that, but i'm looking forward to having those tough conversations with people here in the community in the next coming days, weeks, and months as we continue to find answers and try to figure out how can we make sure that our kids are safe. how can we make sure that our kids can go to school without fearing that they're going to

get hurt or lose their lives like what we saw unfortunately yesterday. >> i know you've said your experience made you want to be a reporter. you also just shared with us while it's not something you talk about, but you think about once a day. i wonder how it shaped you as a reporter and kind of what you'd like others to take away from that, maybe parents dealing with it in their homes. >> reporter: yeah, definitely, what i said earlier, i know what it's like to not know answers, and whenever you're waiting and you're hiding from a gunman, you -- you're relying on media, you're relying on watching the news, and refreshing social media and the internet. we were refreshing google and searching over and over trying to figure out what was going on and finding answers, and that really drives me today. i want to find answers for these people who don't know what's going on, who don't know if their loved ones are safe no matter what story i'm covering.

i really try to find answers as quickly as possible, and that's what drives me, and i know my family, they were looking for answers too whenever they were trying to figure out if i was okay in that school shooting, so that's what really drives me today as a reporter. >> joylyn, great to have you with us. i wish it were for different reasons, but thank you for sharing all of that. really appreciate that. we'll turn to new details sha are shedding light on what led up to a deadly fire inside a migrant facility along the u.s./mexico border. the center which is in mexico not far from el paso, killed 39 migrants and dozens others were hurt. nbc news national correspondent gabe gutierrez is following this for us. hey, gabe, what do we know about the victims? >> reporter: well, according to authorities 39 are dead as you mentioned and many of them are from guatemala. some were from venezuela as well. mexico's president said this

morning that some of the migrants had placed small mattresses at the door of this federally run facility near the el paso border and set it on fire in protest after they found out they had been reported. we're hearing from relatives of those family members who said in the hours leading up to the fire that many of the migrants had been rounded up, that the men had been kept in cells and women and children had been released. but now many questions surrounding still what led up to this, again, 39 migrants dead just south of the border near el paso, texas, dozens of others injured, savannah and kate. >> more answers to come, thank you so much. fiery exchanges on capitol hill today as top bank regulators took questions from the senate banks committee for the first time since the dramatic collapse of those two big banks earlier this month. nbc news capitol hill correspondent ryan nobless joins us now. ryan, i used to cover that place, a banking hear is not usually a big ticket, right, but it was a little more contentious

today than your usual hearing, right? >> reporter: didn't have front row seats for that. these are not the most highly attended or most interesting on capitol hill but this one takes on a different light because of the situation with silicon valley bank and the lawmakers really pressed for regulators today as to what went wrong but want answers from the executives of the bank. listen to what some senators had to say about that. >> these executives must answer for their bank's downfalls, none have paid any fines, some executives have decamped to hawaii. others have already gone to work for other bank, some preliminarily wandered off into the sunset. >> reporter: so they're still working on the policy prescription to try to prethey from happening in the future. you can bet they'll do everything they can to bring these executives in front of the committee in the days and weeks ahead so there could be yet

another hearing of the banking committee that draws interest on capitol hill. >> important stuff, thank you. president biden is in north carolina today to tout his economic agenda, the visit marks the beginning of a multiweek blitz across crucial battleground states. kayla tausche joins us from durham, north carolina. what do we hear from the president this afternoon? >> reporter: he argued the laws have gotten money from private sector investments including the $5 billion expansion by this company. 23,000 infrastructure projects and tens of thousands of jobs. the president arguing that that funding, those jobs, as well as the future of programs like medicare, medicaid and social security are all imperiled by republican proposals and accused republicans of refusing to pay the country's debt which he

framed of being created over 200 years. it stands at $32 trillion and all comes as kevin mccarthy, the top republican on capitol hill, challenged mr. biden to set a meeting by the end of this week to discuss the debt limit and to put some budget proposals on the table to discuss cutting that in order to green-light allowing the u.s. to take on even more debt. the white house says gop needs to put its budget out first. mccarthy says he would show up with a full list but the standoff continues. >> kayla tausche traveling with the president, thank you very much. coming up, new research could transform how doctors treat women with an advanced form of cancer. you're watching "nbc news daily."

in today's daily health, there's groundbreaking new research that could impact the way thousands of women with endometrial cancer are treated every year. >> endometrial cancer affects the uterus lining and cases are on the rise with 65,000 new cases each year. let's bring in dr. natalie azar. always so good to see you. how does this research change how patients can be treated with this? >> so, you know, the experts who weren't involved with the study who reviewed the study said this could be practice changing as soon as today. provided that the fda could get on board with it.

so what were they about? it compared standard of care plus chemotherapy plus immunotherapy given at the same time with stage 3 or stage 4 or recurrent cancer. what they found was pretty remarkable. that the group who got chemo and immunotherapy at the same time had almost in certain subgroups had to up to a 70% reduction in terms of progression as well as recurrence. >> of their cancer? >> of their cancer, which is so dramatic and so much greater than the group who just got chemotherapy alone. >> quick reminder, immunotherapy means what? >> so you can think of it as targeted therapy that is harnessing the body's immune system to fight cancer and there are multiple different types and i think the one thing that's important to remember is that the immunotherapy these two trials used aren't specific for endometrial cancer. they are specific for a genetic

mutation that can be shared by multiple different cancers, lung, melanoma, colon, et cetera, so it's all about the molecular typing of your cancer and if i want to get one message across, it's that. if you have cancer ask your doctor about what type do i have and is my cancer anything that would potentially be responsive to immunotherapy that could be added on. >> how many women are we talking could this impact? >> let's say we have -- we anticipate having about 65,000 new cases this year, about 15% of those cases will be advanced and about 20% of women will experience a recurrence. so we're talking about tens of thousands of women. not a small number. >> risk factors just to remind us of endometrial cancer. >> there are a lot. some of the biggest ones people are familiar with would be obesity, pcos, diabetes, a family history, and then certain other ones that have to do with your gyn history and whatnot. it's important to know risk

factors. there is no standard screening test just like there isn't for ovarian cancer. we have pap smears for cervical but no screening test for endometrial, so you have to know what symptoms to look for. >> what are they? >> the most common would be postmenopausal bleeding but any irregular menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, you know, pain with urination, anything like that and obviously we should know our bodies, listen to your bodies if something feels off. you should get it checked out. >> such, such, such great, important information. >> i said that today on "today." any time immunotherapy is a success, it is just -- it's a relief, right, because it's really kind of trying to -- it's precision treatment and advanced. >> when you say something is dramatic it makes me feel good about the potential impact it can have. thank you very much. >> you bet. if you have allergies, it might feel like symptoms are starting earlier, yes, and even getting more severe, yes. >> no, i've been sneezing all day. according to scientists that's

not your imagination, the allergy season is getting longer and chief environmental correspondent anne thompson joins us now. what is causing it to become longer? >> reporter: hey, savannah and kate, you can blame it on climate change. we've known for several years now that climate change by warming our winters is actually making allergy season come earlier and it's making it go longer, but now we know it's also making it stronger, and that's because of all the carbon dioxide that we put in the air by burning fossil fuels, the plants are eating that up and it's turning them into super pollinators and they're spewing more pollen into the air than just back in 1990. so that's one impact but another impact is that we're also seeing lingering effects of covid because you'll remember that covid was a respiratory disease, allergies affect your head and if they turn into asthma they

can affect your lungs. and a doctor here in new york city explains how covid is making things worse. >> some people have had worsening allergy symptoms as a result of their covid i, there's that confusion, am i sick? is it a cold? is it allergies? so that can be tricky to navigate both for patients and for doctors. >> and a big reason why you want to pay attention is allergies can turn into asthma and asthma kills 11 americans a day. kate and savannah. >> all right. anne thompson, thanks. catch more of anne's reporting on "nbc nightly y news" withth lesteer holt andnd there's s mu momore news ahahead. aww.w.

francisco into the eninsula where we can see a lot of red. a steady rain across san francisco, into oakland, as you go down into the south bay, lighter rain and it has continued to pick up for the south county in the past hour or so. also some intense rainfall approaching fremont and moving toward hayward. this is what we can expect the next couple of hours before we see a decrease in the activity later on this evening. we will see this tapering off from north to south. here we are at 5:00, still raining in the south bay, east bay as well as the peninsula. later this evening, a break. the little cells start to pop up by late tomorrow morning into the afternoon. this is when we could see more thunderstorms before all of this wraps up and we will take a little bit more of a break this weekend. we are tracking more scattered showers, the cold temperatures continue. of course, we are focused on the high winds, the rain and the potential of more power outages, especially over the next few hours.

>> we will keep an eye on

our consumer team is getting an earful from viewers charged up about their electric bill, especially from families who had power outages, frustrated the bills are so high. chris chmura has this. >> good morning. here is the gripe. people whose power was out for days or weeks are logging into their accounts and seeing a chart that shows a bill for normal use every day. we have heard from several people, including larry. >> they charged us the full amount in january when we had 17 days of no power. >> what's going on? we asked pg&e. when the billing system doesn't get meter data for a particular day, like during a malfunction or power outage, it reverts to a historical estimate of electricity used for that day.

if the power is out when your billing cycle is up, it might include historical power use you didn't use. it will reconcile that the next month when it gets a real meter reading. larry says his recent bill was $150 lower. still he recommends you double-check to see if your bill includes any historical estimates. you can do that at pge.com, log in and click the link that says energy usage detail. you will get a bar chart day by day. look for shaded blue bars. those are estimates. if you see a discrepancy, call in. the number 1-800-743-5000. when i called around noon on a friday, a nine-minute wait to speak with someone. if your bill doesn't add up, let us know. scan the qr code to fill out our consumer complaint form online.
