That's because you signed some deal related to installing your solar system.

Those that haven't can disconnect any time they please.
How did I sign some deal when I inherited the system from the previous owner?

Looking for the CEO? Or scoping it out for the auto drive of the tesla?
Yes?

Sucks, I've worked along side a couple different DWP crews a couple of times, all really good guys getting a bad rap for the decisions of 1

My type 6 truck (F350 flatbed) picked up a nail.....Ground support on the Eaton fire charged us $170 to plug it!!!!!!!
They charge because they know everything will be federally reimbursed. hate to say, but these events are a giant cash cow for some

Juan Manuel Sierra, a 33-year-old Mexican national, is an illegal migrant “gotaway” who carries an extensive rap sheet with local law enforcement, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spokesperson stated to the Daily Caller News Foundation. Sierra is currently being held by Los Angeles police on suspicion of contributing to the wildfires that have devastated Southern California in the past several days.

In case you were wondering why the Santa Ynez reservoir has been empty for 11 months, here's the answer from LADWP. I'm guessing they decided it's entirely reasonable to hold up repairs on critical infrastructure so the correct bid documents specifying the exact percentages of involvement by minority and women owed contractors can be determined, along with other DEI considerations.

“To commission the support and resources to implement repairs to Santa Ynez, LADWP is subject to the city charter’s competitive bidding process which requires time,” the utility said in a statement.

Been wondering as there is not much posted. Is the fire contained or put out already?
There's daily updates available, far better places than MSM networks. Watch Duty is providing good daily updates. So far despite the persistent east winds, the flareups are being contained within the fire lines, which are being worked daily to strengthen. Eaton Fire @ 45% Containment and Palisades @ 19%, but that was this mornings update.

This website is an excellent source as they monitor scanners and report any new starts.

Thank you for the site it is helpful. Wife just talked to a FF friend and he said that it is the worst that he has seen in his years. :(

I think it's pretty safe to say the we are pretty easily over 70mph gusts, our anemometer on our weather station broke.... well seized actually, I walked out to check and see if it was still there and it is but the vanes aren't turning 😳
Ordered a new weather station and put it up on Monday. Took the other one apart and yes, one of the bearings seized. We looked to see if you could buy new bearings and it turns out you can order a new cap that has new bearings, shaft and cups for 25 bucks. Wife called her parents to see if they wanted it and they said yes so we ordered the new piece and it will be here on Friday.

This is the new one we got

We got our last one in 2017, we noticed a couple years ago that the gusts didn't match what the weather station was saying, after 40+ years living in a Santa Ana wind area you get a pretty good idea of what the gusts are. The station was reading about 10mph off.

It’s calm here now. So weird.
The news is playing the hype game instead of informing the public. Coworker called me earlier to say the same thing. “There’s no wind here”. Told him Windfinder said it would be done. The news is reporting “max wind gusts”.

Seems like all news outlets have gone dark on fire coverage.

Kind of like Maui..... Hmmmmmmmm
Maui...silent

Also never heard a peep more about the Mountain Fire that started in Camarillo back in November....was it arson, or was it power lines.... or???? It kinda makes you wonder if these random fires that start are the lack of infrastructure upkeep or possibly some freak lighting fires that was trying to destroy wealthy neighborhoods.

Good for you brother. Terrible for the family of course but amazing that you and your wife will host them!
We're lucky, we have a little casita, so it works out well for them. Well as good as it could be, they lost a little historic house in Altadena, and most of their belongings, including 1 car.

Mountain Fire I heard was from faulty machinery on private property. Small fire same area week or so prior.
