and thats great news MrsB those linemen are extraordinary individuals for sure

We don't have Starlink here but we do in Mexico and it works really really well. There has been 1 worldwide outage in the past year but thats when they started up with Tmobile and seems like a 1 shot deal.

Anyone on here have StarLink? If so, do you like it? I'm considering it for internet and dish service.

Holeinbow, great idea😊

Chain Restrictions Lifted

I built a little grill to go in my woodstove, it works best with kabob skewers. It saved us a time or three when the power was out...

Hey Benny, are the winds expected to be as bad today/tonight as they were the other night? Hoping not, so we don’t have more lines and trees come down.

Thanks Van! We saw the guys working on the lines down the street from us on our dog walk. Those poor guys worked through the night. That had to be cold and miserable. So I won’t complain. But I’m thinking there’s hope. If not, we may be roasting hot dogs over the fireplace tonight 😂

Come on Spectrum power‘s been on for 24 hours. time for you to go plug your system in to the outlet.

MrsB we are here if you need anything. The roads are fairly clear right now I'm sure that will change by this afternoon

Good Morning! Still without power in upper Fawnskin. Called BVE and they said power has been restored to most of Fawnskin. Anyone else without power?

Correction: it was our solar trying to kick in but to no avail. It’s off again 😩. I feel your pain Kenai. We may be cooking over our fireplace tonight😂

Yesterday at 2:00 am a huge tree ripped down the wires to 4 house. The tree is off the wires and the debris moved from the road. 3 cars damaged. I think one is a total. No power or internet. I have a generator so I have some power. The other folks had to leave and find alternate shelter. I feel like I am camping. Sned BVE

Oh my gosh, our power just came on 👏. Dare I hope it stays on? I don’t want to jinx myself😂. Many thanks to Van again for your generous offer. I love that our neighbors here have a sense of community and always want to help others 😊❤️
