Someone mentioned a couple of power surges just before the power dropped. I wonder if this has something to do with the massive solar activity they were talking about a couple of days ago. Did that already hit us?

Last season on 24 a large city (Los Angeles?) lost power when an EMP was set off.

Pelosi decries FEMA's slow response-- claims Bush wants old people's ice to melt

In heavily democratic LA County the power is out, in heavily Republican Orange County the power is not out. Is this a coincidence ?

SCE is saying that only DWP customers are impacted, and of course those depending on stoplioghts are being impacted. Channel 7 is that people are confused as to what to do....

They should just pull over and wait ....HA! DWP has Gale on the phone with channel 7 TV reporter, no idea when problem will be corrected....where's the mayor...?

Hmmm. I think Sean Penn should personally inspect the power lines. Wearing his flak vest, of course. On the outside of his clothes so everyone can see it.

Everybody go to the convention center, Dodger Stadium or I-10. Bring enough food and water for 5 days. Anyone attempting to cross over to Orange county will be shot. Wait for further instructions from barbara boxer.

The person in charge of turning on the switch probably couldn't understand the instructions because they are written in ENGLISH.
