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....."

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:

Quote:

...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

Wow.
