On Sunday, 3/15/2020, at around 11:30 in the morning, we lost power, Comcast, and ATT landline in our area of Big Trees Village. Not long after that, Verizon cellular went out as well. The storm kept dumping heavy wet snow and by Monday we had snapped power poles and down power lines all over our area. For more description see the “Dorrington is a mess” thread.
Power was finally restored in our area of BTV yesterday morning, 3/23/2020. However, we still have no Comcast internet nor ATT landline. ATT has said they hop to restore service tomorrow so hopefully, Comcast will come on around the same time.
The weather and camera data used on BigTreesTech rely on a high speed internet connection so hopefully, those components of the site will be back on line soon. In the mean time you can continue to use the forum and other links on the page.
One last thing… it is much more difficult to administer the site using a mobile device and impossible without good interconnection so that will also have to wait a bit longer.
Stay safe and stay healthy,
JoeI also live close to Sierra Parkway and Shoshone and as of today my power was on but no Comcast. Now as of 8pm my Comcast is back on! It has been a long 8 days but all is good
Horray, the cameras are up and running again. When I called Comcast this morning for tech support, the recording told me that Comcast was in my area fixing problems.
I am in the 3000 block of Shoshone.Did anyone else hear about this person that was trapped in their home?
Called PG&E today and logged a ticket with them letting them know that the power line to my property might be damaged. They said that they’d check the line during power restoration to see if there was any damage to the line where it meets the house. Also, they’d call me back to let me know if everything was ok. I’ll update this thread as soon as I hear back.
I have an updated email from PG & E. 75 customers are without power, they are still working to solve the problem, no estimated time.
About alerts, I get an emergency alert on my iWatch, iPhone, plus, the emails.
I really like the one on my iWatch,(for emergency alerts) as it does a little vibrating thing to alert me to check, it keeps vibrating until I click on it.I want to thank Sandi from Sierra Sentry for driving by our cabin yesterday and taking a snapshot to let me know everything looks good from the outside
On another note, I received a text saying they thought power would be restored by 6 p.m this evening.
Thanks for all you do Sandi for the people up here.I have a place on Yuroc near Choctaw. We are here in Paso Robles sheltering as we are in our 70’s. Is anyone near there?
Will probably have Sandi go by and check the place later…
Looking more closely, it appears the conduit might be ok but the wires may have been pulled on. Best to have electrician have a look ASAP
Just heard that electrical damage at homes has to be fixed before power restoration. I cannot confirm this directly.
Kenshawnewby a couple treetops came down. Missed house but one hit your powerline and damaged where it attaches to the house. The powerline is drooping lower than normal. I could not see any other damage but you have a mess to deal with in front.
I tried to send email with pictures but don’t know if it went through.
