Just saw this on KCAL9. LAX has been shut down since 5:30 p.m., no flights in or out. This inevitably affects airports/flights all over the country and internationally.

Wondering why the back-up generator has not kicked in. The cause is based in Palmdale (high desert), where a power outage affected a major regional air traffic control center.

We had area-wide power outages in the west L.A. area Sunday and Monday, not far from LAX.

Few details on this breaking story thus far.

Ok, I just checked about 8 local news sites.

You all lost power at LAX for 90 minutes.
At this time, it appears the cause is unknown.

Here's one of the latest articles.

Thanks for the Ping Enchi...
LAX radar is stationed in Palmdale.

Is the outage regional? Or just the airports?
