Let's trade again maybe Jan 1 2007
3rd day in a row, we had 105 or so, Im ready for winter.
all the cats are melted.
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)
Have you seen the freeway sign here in california, there turned on asking us to save power?
Norm...sorry about your cats...pets really suffer in the heat...course you could spray them with water several times during the day...however some cats don't care for that/
My labs never complained but dogs are more forgiving than cats.
"I find it little bit - ironic that they turned on the electric signs asking use to save electricity."
That's so they will have enough to operate their signs!
I'll bet I'm STILL cooler than you!
;->
The Mayor giving bilingual speeches...
25000+ residents of La Cuidad de Los Angeles still without electricity.
Wow when did that happen?
It's turning dark like night up here as I speak.
Its been happening since Friday....the city has been keeping quiet about it...more without power today than yesterday....crazy crazy
I saw the West Hills people have been without power since Saturday, but I thought that was just a handful. 25,000??
El alcalde says the transformers in the area are so wrecked and decrepit, they can't get the power back online. Those were some pretty chi-chi homes to be going powerless that long, Tony Villars!
680 different outages....they flew in LADWP crews from Bishop and Utah (there they run the water project and INTERTIE) to help out....
Also a shortage of transformers now...and even if they put new ones in, they are at risk of blowing again, since everyone is running three a/c's, three PCs, an XBOX, and Pay Per View Adult Movies.
[shutting off my PPV porn...]
KTTV Fox 11 just ran a scroll alert saying there's a flash flood warning for "central LA county," whatever that is. The San Gabriel Mountains?
Your area...
I think
I was reading the alert, and it wasnt too clear....

Yeah... "including Antelope Valley and all those other county mountains" is a rather broad area. The storms up my way never materialized. Looks like they headed out to Barstow and Baker.
