Just keeping you up to date :
We had three more blackouts over the weekend here at the house in Simi. The last one was three hours on Sunday from 4-7. What does that term "rolling" blackout mean anyway? I'm beginning to think it might be a variant of an old Indian word meaning "stick it to Simi Valley."

rolling blackouts are when the power company starts shutting off power in a deliberate manner, neighborhood by neighborhood, based on a certain order.

It sounded like Glendale was turning off certain areas the past two days, when they met the maximum capacity of the transformers....the way they explained it on the radio, if they let it go above maximum, the transformer could explode, and the repair would take days...
