SCE didn't say why they were inspecting.

Hello all! I am looking for a handyman to help me with several things around the house but definitely someone who can help me figure out a generator. Any suggestions?

@Jelly, did the lightning strike in Big Bear affect the line all the way down into the desert, requiring SCE to perform inspections also or were there 2 different incidents?
Thanks Jelly!

The SCE web site indicates they hope to complete inspection of their main line by 8:30 pm. That's the one the comes up from Lucerne Valley to the dump in Big Bear.

Hopefully the SCE inspection goes well, and BVES gets any needed repairs done within the valley.

Someone on Ring is reporting by 8:30 PM… for what it's worth

Power is on in Big Bear Lake Village. Not sure of Boulder Bay.

Not necessarily Baldwin67. If it blew a transformer which it likely did, it could take a little bit to replace. But not usually that long...

[UPDATE]
VEGETATION FIRE in BIG BEAR
Air Attack 12 Airplane Is Over The SaddleRock Fire. This Is The One Several Miles East Of Big Bear / Cactus Flats. We See Very Light Smoke Coming From That Area On The Oynx Peak Alert Wildfire Cam. Confirmed Fire.

Does it take eight hours to turn the power on if their line gets hit by lightning? Like it is when they turn it off for PS PS

@N42754, I got the info from the BVES Facebook page. Perhaps that's why I was slow to draw...!smart

I should know better. I'm getting slow in my old age. Besides, You're always on top of things.

@N42754 you have to be super important to get that kind of classified info. Okay, I give, it was on their website. If you scroll down to the news area on their main page they have it there
