Social media reporting large dust storms in East Apple Valley with 30MPH plus winds, with video. So it's windy down by power lines!

jujubean, I have a CyberPower 1000VA UPS. I have the modem and router plugged into it.

When we have these outages, it keeps our Spectrum connection live for an hour or two. That's usually sufficient for short outages.

Our Spectrum usually stays up for the duration of these outages, provided that I keep the equipment powered on by UPS or generator.

Thanks Marty! Thats a long time

SCE is now reporting power restoration by 2AM per SCE website.

Power is also off in Yucaipa... Bryant and the 38 is out.

BVES only shuts the power off when there is wind in the forecast, the fastest wind I have seen during a shutoff is 10mph(Windy app). Who ever makes the call needs to be fired.
It's about to be check-in for Airbnb and the power is out

Power is on at Gilner Point... anybody need to run an extension cord over here?

So Spectrum has just speculated a 9pm return of power, but will update at 6:30pm. We’ll see.

DoggieD, what is coming in at about 1am. Is what I’m watching. Looks like we could get some hard downpours.
