A large swath of San Diego County was without power Thursday afternoon as officials investigated the cause of the outage.

Here in the Ozarks we went without power in the dead of winter for 3 weeks after a major ice storm. How’s that for you?
And isn’t Kalifornia trying to set Second Amendment restrictions?? Need guns just for this purpose — the lights go out and the gangs and druggies go wild — and THEY have the weapons, law or no law.
Post #140 Clarifies my point.
You win. :-)
Wow! That is major.
I have a grandson in SD. He lives on his boat. I hope he is OK.
“California will have 378,426 new residents by dawn.”
Only if they move to Mississippi by dawn.
You affected by this? and if you are, it would be hard for you to reply, I guess. haha.

69-73 degrees in the day and 62-65 degrees at night.
Hope they make it.
And if they arrest someone named Mohammed who cut the lines while screaming “Allahu akbar,” they’ll assure us that it had nothing to do with Islam. He’ll be “a loner with psychological problems.”
Arizona must be pissed off at the 9th Circuit.
Haha. It’s not life or death for them. As long as they don’t get robbed.
Interesting that they're saying it's not related to the threat, as in the current threat to New York and Washington. They didn't say it's not related to terrorism.
I spoke to my daughter in Yuma, AZ, and she said her’ power came back on about 45 minutes ago. She said it was the strangest thing. She was watching tv, and Obama came on, and the second he opened his mouth to speak, they lost their power. She did find that kind of hilarious.
They'll package him as "home grown extremist"
Like “Used Cars” when they interrupted Carter.
I know you folks in Connecticut are suffering from being soggy but try going five months without rain and the temperature over 100 for 80 straight days. I guess it is all relative.
Not all of the affected area is that comfortable. El Centro and Yuma are over 100. I’m glad they got it back, but I’ve been there and lost power, and things heat up pretty fast.
...no love there yet...
I see what you were getting at now and you’re right about the load from those cell towers. Most are going to still be active, at least for a little while, and there’s a good chance that a heavy cell usage spike would crash the system. There’s a reason most of us Bell guys have land lines in addition to our cells and it has nothing to do with company loyalty. ;)
There are many, many bases and posts in the affected areas. Huge ones. Pendleton, Miramar, all the San Diego Navy, Coronado, Yuma, the Naval station in El Centro...just to name a few. Was Luke AFB affected too? It seems a little scary to me.
