Earlier when I checked Bensweather it showed date as October, with info on "nice fall weather this week" Many of the graphics were missing as well.

Is it me, or is Bensweather having problems rendering the page.

Yeah, i've done ghost reposts too -- I just hit SoCal graphic (upper left corner) to refresh the page rather than pressing Refresh button in the browser

Dr. B= when you return to the page if you reload it it will repost your comment. Instead of reloading click on the Forum tab to the left to get a new page. There are other more technical ways to clear your cache but the above hack is simple and effective.

Ah, well a lot of people don't know about the separate bensweather page. lol
bullet McToddy on Tuesday 08 July 2025 - 13:38:17
Dr B - No problem. The big thing to keep in mind is that a Battery power is short term (4-8 hours -- depends on battery size and how much power draw. A Generator (gas or propane fueled) can run for longer durations (ie., for days, as long as you have fuel).

Solar can recharge a battery (albiet slow), but isn't practical for powering 110v appliances alone. (it could be done but it will cost $$$$ to get the amount of solar panels that would produce enough power for 110v appliances)

Not that it needs mentioning in in this group. But there's always detailed local conditions at Bensweather.

bullet Doggie Daddy on Tuesday 08 July 2025 - 10:02:01
Applenut, that's a great link for local weather at BBCCSD! Their main office weather station is just a few blocks away from our place.
You can also find very localized conditions from private weather stations on Weather Underground.

I have Ting its pretty handy and also makes your home safer. I can report that in Moonridge power was not out

Wow, jfred! You managed to find a gadget I didn't know about. It just goes to show that I can always learn some"Ting" new. Thanks!

Power back on in Whispering Forest. I think I have PTSD from power outages.

jfred

It's community reported outage map, Ting plugs in to an outlet in the home and monitors for surges etc that might cause fires - and then also happens to give real time outage info back - based on the homes up here with Ting it gives a decent map so there is enough coverage up here

Doggie Daddy

That's pretty slick, jfred! Where did you happen to find this info? I have never been able to find a current outage map for BVES.

Thanks for the update. You are probably right.

Judging by the comments in some of the BB Facebook groups, the power outage reports seem focused in the Peter Pan and Whispering Forest areas.
Ours is still on in Poet's Corner.

Let's try this:

Does anyone in the valley have power? If so where are you at?

N42754
9 hour(s) ago
I'm guessing this power outage must be a limited area. If it's widespread there are usually more reports of outages on soqualmountains.com

N42754

I went on Bear valley electric website and they don't even have an area to distribute information about outages.... Incredibly poor service in my opinion

Mr. Pink
9 hour(s) ago
Yeah, power out in Whispering Forest for me as well. It's like we live in a third world flipping country! With all the money that we pay you would think we would have a stable electrical supply. I'm going to give it another half hour and then fire up the generator.

Military on the tarmac and a mystery power outage? Fun times!
