Yup, launch delayed.

I use the Space Launch Schedule app myself. Probably pulling data from the same source.

Thinking I need to issue a service alert to BVES about the possiblilty of lack of a payment due to lack of services. This is really getting out of hand. If anyone can afford to fix infrastructure it would be electric companies, they just don't want to do it. Easier to inconvenience us little folk with no political power. Government can't help, electric companies don't want to so what is left for us. Another State maybe.

Bear Valley Electric Service (BVES) is notifying customers that Southern California Edison (SCE) has placed multiple BVES transmission lines on its Monitored Circuit List for a potential Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS). The period of concern begins August 14th at 9:00 a.m. until August 15th at 12:00 a.m. This precaution is due to forecasted high winds and dangerous fire conditions. BVES continues to monitor the conditions and will keep customers informed of any changes.

I’ve found this wonderful app for tracking launches. It’s called Nextspaceflight. It’s available on Apple’s App Store. Don’t know about Google. I highly recommend it!
