Large Portion of Los Angeles Loses Power

By LAURA WIDES, Associated Press Writer 3 minutes ago

LOS ANGELES - A large portion of Los Angeles was blacked out Monday when electrical power was lost. The power got knocked out shortly before 1 p.m. after two power surges.

Traffic lights throughout downtown and the San Fernando Valley were not working, causing major traffic problems, according to video from helicopter news crews.

Downtown highrises also were darkened.

The city's department of water and power said it was investigating the cause and extent of the outage

I'm okay, but I'm trapped in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre.

(Is it a vestibule? Maybe it's an atrium.)

Gratuituous pop-culture reference. :)

Al-Qaida tape said to threaten attacks on LA, Melbourne Monday, September 12, 2005 at 07:08 JST

NEW YORK — In a communique coinciding with the fourth anniversary of the Sept 11 attacks on New York and Washington, a suspected al-Qaida operative has threatened attacks against Los Angeles and Melbourne, ABC News reported.

"Yesterday, London and Madrid. Tomorrow, Los Angeles and Melbourne, God willing. At this time, don't count on us demonstrating restraint or compassion," the 11-minute videotape reportedly warns.
