The SCE/BVE outage is expected sometime late tonight into early tomorrow morning. You can continue to enjoy your normal activities until late this evening! (Hopefully!)

Just a footnote... the outage window was scheduled to begin at 11:30pm this evening. The SCE website suggests this may have been changed to 2am, but who knows? SCE has been notoriously inaccurate when reporting outage times.

Quiet a few locals walking and driving around that are drunk also. Your doorbell camera most likely will catch someone living in the valley wanting to do you wrong. Just a thought. As far as being nervous about folks having a good time i do believe they have meds for that will help along with professional counseling.

Aviation and meteorology by themselves involve mountains of technical knowledge that I think most people underestimate. That being said, I find it even more interesting to watch non-experts attempt to oversimplify two highly complex fields at the same time, whittling them down to ‘white lines in the sky are chemtrails’.

An entire community is generating confusion by hijacking real technologies (like cloud seeding and geoengineering), stripping them of their real concern and fear, and mixing that into their folklore. All to give it a veneer of plausibility… while blaming every weather event and anomaly in the sky that they see.

Add to that the exponential increase in mistrust since COVID… and the explosion of opportunists exploiting that mistrust on social media for their own benefit through engagement… and we can quickly see how that confusion becomes really hard to untangle.

Thx Charlotte, that's good for some entertainment. Shout-out to the science community that knows better. It's amazing the depth of misinformation people actually believe. Sadly, most people just don't know any better and think there's some grand conspiracy.

JFK said it best in one of the videos. If this is so prolific, why aren't tens of thousands of people coming forward? They are not, and an NDA wouldn't stop them. A lot of people confuse cloud seeding with contrails and mesh the two as geoengineering; they are completely different processes. Cloud seeding is very localized, and you can't see it.

It's nothing more than your car's exhaust running on a cold day. It just happens to freeze into ice particles up at 35kft where it's -30°F. It's been around since the beginning of aviation; look back at photos from 1915 surely we weren't doing it then.

Here's a simple 3-minute video that explains it. [Click Here]

Shout out to Charlotte. Some people have never even seen that documentary and will tell me I am crazy. It's very hard for people to open their minds and realize that there is more knowledge out there than what is on YouTube. Have a good one .
