TRAFFIC ACCIDENT IN BARTON FLATS - HWY BARTON FLATS

WEATHER UPDATE:
Big Bear City is now reporting RAIN. Temp 50F

There was a lot of wind down in the high desert where our Lucerne Valley power lines originate. Several social media posts (with video) reported dust/wind storms with low visibility and high winds.

My question is why did they shut off power in the first place? No huge winds, rains moving in, really quite disappointing and truly unnecessary. Add up the lost business between the boulevard fast food places, couldnt be more than a million or two...

Re airbnb checkin: we have begun advising incoming guests a couple weeks out to be fully prepared for power outages, bring your lights and batteries and prepare the kids for " darkness happens in the mountains "... we do provide a few battery operated lights as a spare but renters are advised to fully prepare. Key is advising kids that our lights are for emergencies and not toys. We charge them for batteries if the power doesnt go out. If power goes out no charge for batteries. Dialog box is not responding to zoom or shrink commands, help!! Desktop mode confirmed...

Im glad i got starlink. Spectrum always goes with the power. My small battery will run the starlink for almost 24 hours.
