Southern California

So my wife just e-mailed me and said the power is out to all of Southern California. I go on the net and see this....

I'm in Riverside and so far no power loss.

 

Yeah I think it's more San Deigo County...

Anybody awake down there???

Viva

 

Torrance, Ca is lights on...............

 

ELA is bumpin

 

Just got off the phone with my buddy... parts of So Cal are out.. South Orange County... Edison is good but any San Diego Gas & electric customers are out!

 

check news-All of San Diego South to near Ensenada & Baja, Mexico; up into Palm Springs area; Yuma, Arizona; New Mexico; etc. should be back on Friday.

 

im just north of san diego, temecula and we are good

 

And so the meltdown of the grid begins....

 

My local news said random areas of the southwest US. Some grid in Arizona triggered it. Or was it Nevada? Anyway, San Diego film footage looked crazy!

Let's see.... earthquakes, hurricanes, drought, fire. Hmm.... time to stock up the 2012 shelter.

Anybody having trouble getting internet explorer MSN?

 

Good to go in San Bernardino county.
The article says 1.4 million customers lost power but there are more than 20 million people in the southern most part of CA. Over 3 million just in San Diego county.

 

I'm in San Juan Capistrano and no power, it has been off since around 4

 

lights out here, funny thing I'm at my mom's on the other side of the freeway and it's good. It's damn funny to see the town DARK, now is the time for speed runs .


Got the candles and it time to party like it's 1799........................

 

It's starting to come back in parts of South Orange County. According to the news, there was some sort of system failure with a major power line coming from Arizona. When that occured, the nuclear generator at San Onofre shut down as a safety precaution and things just sort of snowballed (I know, bad ****ogy when it's 100F).
Just another day in Paradise...

 

downtown L.A. is and was fine. AC is keeping me comfy

 

Have you figured out to get the hotrod in there yet??

Same way I built it. One piece at a time.

 

party like its 1799?
sure got my sheep gut condoms ready already lubed with some stinky substance.

High desert San Bernandino county....we,re good.I heard vegas was out too,

 

A friend of mine here(MI) spent the past couple years in the San Diego area. He said short duration power interruptions are pretty common there.

 

So...... San Diego power shut everything down just as Barry was about to start ANOTHER speech about how wonderful he is?
THATS FRIGGIN' BRILLIANT!! Go San Diego power!
Hell, I'd pay a premium on my power bill for that kind of service!

 

Power back on in my area of East San Diego county early this am. Ran my generator last night to keep the fridge running. They expect it to take all day to get most of the grid back on. Heard a dead short (AZ) caused a surge/fluctuation which caused San Onofre nuclear plant to go into safe/shutdown mode and it all went south from there.

 

We are back on the juice. From what I see on the news it was just some nimrod at the power company that made a mistake. The sky is not falling guys.... sorry

 

power came back up at 1am for me.

 

Ha! Lets see who's gonna burn for this f*&^ up...

Viva

 

So... some guy wrenches the wrong part and major parts of the southwest US go out!? That is NOT a comforting thought.

 

I guess he didn't get his mandatory Union break and was alittle upset....
