Well, it looks like everyone "should" be back online by now. Hopefully, that's the end of it. However, the PSPS ⚠️ runs through midnight tonight.

Winds will begin to subside tomorrow, with fair and warmer weather returning next week. Temperatures should return to normal with a high near 80 degrees forecast for our July 4th holiday! 🎆🎇🎉

Monsoon moisture could make a return the following week, more likely by around mid-July! ⛈️

Indeed!

Watchful, this may or may not be of help to you... [Click Here]

Oh, okay. It would be nice if BVES had that capability -- maybe some day they will... Thank you for keeping us updated as much as is possible!

Portions of LA County actually have far worse outages during Santa Ana season, probably don't hear about it, as we're more directly affected locally. Even down in Running Springs, I know they've been out for days at a time.

Sorry Watchful, I don't have a map, just know the power is still out too in parts of upper Moonridge.

WX or SCM- Is there a real-time map of Big Bear Valley outages/rolling blackouts? If so, could you please share a link to it?

Power out at Big Bear City near Lippy's. Nice

BillyJean,
I stand corrected. Your right about lawsuits. Just seems BBL gets hammered every time a wind comes up. Dont see LAV getting affected near what BB gets.













BillyJean
Your right. I stand corrected.

WX- Are you seeing those few outage areas on some kind of live map? If so, could you share a link to it?

I do see a few areas still out, hopefully they're on it!

Big Bear Valley PSPS Update:
Power Restoration & Community Conservation Needed
Big Bear Lake, CA – Bear Valley Electric Service has restored power to all customers. While electric
service has been restored, Southern California Edison (SCE) continues to maintain a Public Safety
Power Shutoff (PSPS) on the transmission lines that serve BVES. As a result, the PSPS event
remains active and the warning period continues through 12:00 a.m. Sunday, June 28, due to
forecasted high winds and elevated wildfire risk. BVES will continue monitoring conditions and will
provide updates if the situation changes.

[UPDATE]
SMOKE CHECK in RUNNING SPRINGS
Usfs Units Are In The Area. So Far Nothing Showing. No Smoke Seen. Units Will Continue To Check The Area.

Lawsuits are actually the reason they're shutting the power off. Every time it's windy, and a line comes down and starts a fire, people sue. A Double-edged sword. So as a preventative, they're proactive cutting the power. Can't win, it's the price of modern-day conveniences. If everyone stopped suing for any reason, we wouldn't be here.

Living BBL fulltime?
For a new homeowner the +s are pretty darn tempting. The -s are TCs closing the highway for a short time. Floods, fires closing the highways for days,weeks and months. Add in your PSPS and maybe someone says hell no. A law suit needs to happen to prevent the unnecessary power drops. Why is everyone putting up with this crap year after year. 3rd world country?
