Urgent need help:

The power is out at the rental condos on the mountain... anyone know how quickly everything will get unbearable cold?

Do we tell family to leave or tough it out?

You're going to want to go somewhere warm very soon. CMP has some long estimates for the 6300+ without power.

As long as you can safely get somewhere I’d recommend going somewhere that still has power. Make sure you bring blankets, layer up, bring water, food, flashlight, and even a first aid kit too… just incase your car decides to not take you all the way. BE SAFE!

If there’s no fireplace or stove you need to find someplace warm with power. It’s dangerous tonight.

Don't panic yet.

Is there a wood stove in the unit? If there is, tell them to use it. If not, where would you send them? If the outage is widespread, they may open up the school as a warming station. Or maybe the lodge. I don't know how Saddleback handles things like this but Rangeley knows how to do cold weather and outages. Find local resources before sending them out into the cold.

Ok. So there's a tree down on Dallas Hill and they're saying it should be resolved quickly. I'd sit tight.

The wind will often blow out our gas stove pilot light-hope power comes back soon🤞

Haven't heard anything new. I think everyone's in waiting mode. Or no news is good news? Hope your people are staying warm.
