Re: power out all through southern california

Mechanic, I just got off the phone with family in Santee and El Cajon they said the power has been out since 3:30 and SDG&E has no clue what is going on. How come this isn't on the news?
 
Re: power out all through southern california

Test run for the new EPA regulations prohibiting cross state pollution (real regs and expensive process to qualify source point emissions in this manner) that are set to effect in 2012. The net effect of these new regs will take 94 power generating facilities off line. BOHICA.



Good luck

Re: power out all through southern california

According to official version it was one guy doing something on a substation
Does that sound right? That is terrifying if that's how vulnerable the grid is.
 
Re: power out all through southern california

sure makes one wonder as to 'what is it that "they" don't want us to know'?

Supposition aside, this sucks for a whole lot of people and I can just imagine some of the crap that is being dealt with now.
 
Re: power out all through southern california

Yeah, I counted 3 maybe 4 reports in the story. Image San Diego's population with New Orleans mentality in this situation.

Looterism (a term coined by one of my Lt's post-Katrina) knows no bounds. Admittedly, it occurred, but at least a sporting event win / loss can go without hooliganism, unlike other urban areas. Many lost power here during Lee, but it went without major events.
 
Re: power out all through southern california

San Diego is not LA thank goodness. Power came back on for me about 4:00 in the morning. My home computer did not fare well in this outage. I think it took out my power supply. Thing will not power on.
