Thx, Trua. We put that under news to stop crying wolf in the chatbox, lol. But if it goes out, it will be for "hours"; hopefully we'll dodge it like the past 2.

Bear Valley Electric is announcing another PSPS for Saturday. "from 12 a.m. to midnight". Not clear if that means it will be for 0 minutes or for 24 hours. 😵‍💫
