Earthquakes, Blackouts, seesch...
 
What's with you SoCal'ers?


On a side note, the linked article has one of my faviorte lines you always seem to see these days: "We have no idea what the cause is, but we know it's not terrorists....." :rolleyes:

I just called my parents' house in the Valley. No one home, but the answering machine picked up, so I guess that means they've got power there.

Damn... why didn't the power go out in Orange County so I could go home?

Looks like LA was terrorized by stupidity:

...power officials told the agency that the outage was linked to an error at a receiving station near Burbank. Workers connected the wrong wires, causing a surge of power that led to shutdowns at three power generating stations, according to officials.

Go go go DWP! (I'm just glad it wasn't the home team.) ;)

And, what's this about an earthquake?

We were driving around the Valley, trying to find a place that would take cash in exchange for food, and we finally ended up at this little dive-y sandwich place next to a bar. We got two tuna sandwiches and two waters for $12 (ow!!!) and watched as patrons began to stream into the bar :eek:

Wow.

I am just checking in, making sure none of my swanky friends were affected.
