All these threats are abusive towards elderly disabled people that are using life sustaining machinery. Constant threats

Thanks for the heads-up, SCM!

After hazardous conditions subside, SCE must inspect the affected power lines before restoring service. Inspections generally occur during daylight hours, and restoration may require up to eight additional hours. Actual restoration timing will depend on weather conditions, inspection results, and whether repairs are necessary. BVES will continue to monitor weather conditions and inform customers of any significant changes that could affect their service.

SCE has indicated that it is likely to de-energize the primary transmission lines serving Big Bear Valley within the next four hours due to wind-driven fire conditions. These conditions are expected to continue through 9 a.m. Wednesday morning, September 2.

As of 2:45 p.m., Tuesday, September 1, no outage has been confirmed. If the lines are de-energized, BVES will have very limited capacity, and some or all customers may experience an extended outage. Customers should prepare now and continue monitoring BVES communications for updates.

Sadly we passed this fairly soon after it happened. It was in the area where they've been working. We wondered if it was a CalTrans worker that had been hit. Condolencrs to family and friends.
