Hi Peeps! I hope all is well UTH!

Anyone know what BBL's plan for the 4th -- drones or fireworks?

Just curious on how to plan things

FROM BVES
On Tuesday, June 24, 2025, between 8 am and 5 pm, Bear Valley Electric Service, Inc. will simulate a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS). Notifications for this mock PSPS exercise will be dispatched throughout the day to our public safety partners, clearly designated with *Exercise Exercise Exercise*.. This is solely a practice event; there will be no actual PSPS occurrence, and the power will not be turned off due to this exercise.

From the San Bernardino National Forest:

Have a great day from all of us at SCM!

You guys sure look like your having the weather I wish I had. Good luck with all the power issues.

UPDATE FROM BVES
Bear Valley Electric Service (BVES) is notifying customers that Southern California Edison (SCE) has concluded the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) affecting BVES supply lines.

We’re out for our walk but we’re seeing a lot of lights on. So I’m pretty sure power is back on in Moonridge;)

This expletive deleted power outage. After waiting for days for the Big Bear Walgreens to get certain of my medication in stock, it finally managed yesterday (Saturday). I had three different types of diabetic shot medications that needed refillling. The power shutoff caused all my medication (and anyone else whose medications were refrigerated ) to go down the tubes due to spoilation issues. It might be Wednesday now until they might get the medications again.

HIB thanks. We have an older battery lantern by Coleman that runs FOREVER on either 6V or D. Since it's just the two of us we just carry a lantern with us from room to room.

I see that BVE is saying today, June 22, until 3 pm but SCE, who is responsible for our lines coming up from the desert along the 18 corridor, has NO such PSPS. See SCE.com, outage center, check outage status, map view, for all information regarding PSPS under consideration, PSPS active, etc.

While it's vital for each home/business to be prepared (we have a 16Kw standby generator that runs the entire house), I call foul on Edison for their jumpiness. The upside is that they're proving the absurdity of an All-Electric Future.

Ahhggg Gorn, are they sending you new equipment being as it’s still down after tech support tried?

Costco EP360 [Click Here] is my fav of all time. The 2 satellites have a magnetic base, can charge independently and I can vouch for the 8 hour runtime x 3 = 24 hours. -$40-50 .
