Not much rain here in Erwin Lk by 38. A bit of lightning. Probably pick up some lightning fires out of this.

Little bits of rain. Hoping for no dry lighting strikes.

@mctoddy I use the windy app, and it’s showing the strikes up on the onyx peak area. 🤞 fingers crossed for no snag fires.
bullet MountainKitten on Thursday 16 July 2026 - 14:49:09
Are we taking bets on how long the 38 lasts? That project only made things worse, I think, and the fact it was left unfinished with those massive berms and bare hillsides is concerning.
bullet McToddy on Thursday 16 July 2026 - 14:44:48
unfortunately, the current local radar is showing just a black/blank image.... can't tell where the strikes are at

@Jellolorum

And just to be clear, I have been a permanent resident since service was initiated. I live and receive mail here in BBC, my kids go to school here. I'm the damn definition of a permanent resident, both legally and otherwise.
bullet Drunkpirate on Wednesday 15 July 2026 - 14:37:23
@Jellylorum

I wrote out a whole thing here describing the situation, but it was "too long" so it didn't post...and I'm not writing it again, lol.

tldr: They scheduled me based on my mailing address, which is not legal based on the tariffs from CPUC, though even if it was, I have a bill from April that has my service and mailing address in BBC, yet BVES still scheduled me DO for that month. This is typical BS from a private utility that is happy to steal money from it's customers.

The CPUC is going to take care of it for me, and then fine BVES...which, we will all end up paying for when they increase rates

Major prayers to this young lady to be in the hands of our Lord and to the family,friends and the first responders who had the difficult job of dealing with this tragic accident.
I would love to help out the Family if anyone knows how i can. TIA.

DrunkPirate - Only one home is your permanent home with the locals rate.

When I was living in one home and building my current home, only one was on the permanent local schedule. When I moved into the newly completed home, I had to call the BVES office to have the permanent local schedule applied to that home, even though by then the electricity had been turned off at my original home.

Power is out in lower Moonridge. Unaware of any PSPS.

To @DrunkPirate: If you do not have a local PO Box or address in the big bear vally, BVES considers you a part time resident.
