Sean Hannity just stated that large part of L.A. are without power....
These were oil refinery's, that had to burn off excess cause of the loss of power in critical areas.
Bob Dylan. You know his fans hated it when he first went electric back in '64 or so.
Thats how the nyc electrial system is configured. All of our equipment is constantly being metered and whenever a discrepancy is detected the appropriate relays are activated causing circuit breakers to open as necessary so as to isolate any fault.
Whoa. I'm back! Been reading this stuff too. Some of these people should get paid for their comedy relief. They are hysterical!
DWP giving explanation on Channel7 , receiving station E in Burbank had a human error....caused problems all thru the system.
From Long Beach to the Velley was impacted....
John Gibson (FNC) just took a call from the CA Democratic Spokesman who IMMEDIATELY blamed the power outage on the governor's failure to address CA's power grid problems ("and instead was attending fundraisers . . . ). Will now every single solitary glitch in the infrastructure of this nation, or every single Act of God become a political football??? AAAUGGRH!
Why was that? Just curious.
GEEZ!!!!
There was more, of course, "where are the backup systems? how can we function? what if we had been hit with a terrorist attack at the same time?"
I was waiting for: "Where's FEMA? Where's the National Guard? Where are the school buses?"

I heard on CNN and MSNBC that 'someone accidentally cut a power line' and that it had NOTHING to do with the terra alerts yesterday, and was just COINCIDENCE...But all the media can talk about now, is NO FEAR, NO FEAR, NO TERROR, FLASE ALARM, JUST COINCIDENCE, JUST ACCIDENT..... I say JUST ROVE!

We could never come together and win another WWII in todays age.
It was probably some illiterate union worker at LA DWP.
But I do live in Silverlake. And have a Z car. :)
I work down the street in the Cal-Fed (now Citibank) building. Since you're in the area, have you been over to Polka for lunch over on Verdugo? I highly recommend it.
