Hey, Buddy. There are strong thunderstorms (with high winds) rumbling through here now. The power already went out once, so if I'm not around tonight, that's why.

We had a brief hail storm and lots of traffic lights out.

[I Drive Too Fast]

I stayed home today from work because the power was out. It was off from 9:15am this morning until 2:47pm this afternoon. According to Southern California Edison, it only affected about 177 customers {probably most of us in the townhouse complex} and was the result of a leaking transformer. Good thing it only hit the mid 80's to 91 degrees today.

Must not read much further since we don't get to see survivor for another 3 hours.
