Its supposed to get cooler by the ocean, not hotter... WTF?

[Marcus-SanDiego]

It's crazy, JP.

[tripod06]

man i'm going to have to say that this is just bananas out there. 88 in irvine yesterday. crazy!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I was out and about yesterday. Felt like Africa.

[ZSP-Mafia]

Yesterday was nuts. Today is gonna be pretty toasty as well.

[Smilez]

it was 80 this morning and i was like It's going to be a hot arse day.

[Hermes]

Now we have a countywide power outage...

[Marcus-SanDiego]

This is wonderful.

Who all is without power?

HTC Thunderbolt+TT

[Marcus-SanDiego]

The entire county of San Diego is without power. Last time this happened was 33 years ago.

I heard Ensenada to SD/OC county line and east to Yuma

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Yep. Part of south orange county reportedly affected. El centro and calexico also impacted. Not surprising since, as you mentioned, jp, that many in Yuma, Arizona, without power.

Hopefully power will be restored before kickoff tonight.

What...Cali can't pay for power now?

[Hermes]

Heard Coachella and Salton Sea geothermal plants are having issues (Listening to KOGO 600)

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Unfortunately, the cause is unknown at this point.

Edit: thanks for additional info.

SDGE will be holding a news conference soon

No kidding....

[Hermes]

Apparently it's cascaded fom a 500,000 volt transmission line from AZ. Apparently a second one coming from the north also went out

[tripod06]

I knew stage 3 rolling blackouts would come back! Everyone said it was a conspiracy but I believed they were coming back.

I couldnt sleep last night. Thinking of the heat haha.

[Hermes]

Power might not be back until tomorrow night at latest, soonest tonight (hopefully) in areas near the local plants

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Casey is reporting that he has power. He is near Mesa college. I'm in Escondido. No power.

No power, out in Spring Valley, and it's very...warm.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

As power gets restored, chime in, guys.

No power in PB or LJ (just got home after 3 hours in my car)

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Still out in Escondido.

I can see all of SD from my place. It's eerie not seeing any lights for miles.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

I can see all the way to the ocean from my place. Very cool.

Sorry guys, I can relate.

[Hermes]

I have no water since I'm above the reservoir (pumps require electricity)

Sucks bro, I could at least take a cold shower, major shrinkage though, lmfao.

[Hermes]

I have water pressure again so I guess there's some progress

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Power being restored from north to south and east to west. Chula vista sucks. Hopefully we get restored over night. Some 18,000 OC homes have been restored.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Here comes the power. Part of neighborhood now has power. Community to the north has power.

Again, we are in Escondido.

I hate on people that have power when I don't.

[Hermes]

So I'm gonna be last cause I live by the beach? This is gonna suck for a while still

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Jp, I think so. You probably get restored in the morning. They're saying it will be a slow rollout.

I think I'm just gonna have to party like it's 1899

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Exactly. I'm hoping my lens gets delivered tomorrow.

This actually turned out to be a good day. We hung out with friends until about an hour ago. It served as a reminder that we need to do it mote often.

Still no lights in any direction. Nothing to do, but sit back and drink a cold one. :)

I wish there's was someway to take a pic of the view from up here. It's pretty amazing. Nothing but Car headlamps for miles.

[Hermes]

SDGE guy on radio says some pockets might not have power until Saturday

[ZSP-Mafia]

I got da powa!!!! :)

[Gordo_GT]

Hopefully power is back to normal soon. I found out about this due to customers calling me due to their cell phones not working. The power outage affected cell sites as well.

[danewilson77]

So..the entire cause was because a maintenance tech in AZ disconnected a piece of monitoring gear? Damn.....that guy hopefully is looking for a new job...

That's what i'm afraid of. If some type of war happen to wipe out power. Most people (at least in cali) would have no idea how to survive. Imagine not just a day power outage. A week, a month, etc. Sad how we are so dependent in electricity.

I had power from my vagabond power pack that I use for location shooting to fire my lights. I had enough power to piss people off, but not enough to be effective.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Power was restored at midnight here.

[Hermes]

I gots power! (im guessing around 1am from the time all my clocks say)

[Marcus-SanDiego]

JP, glad to hear. Enjoy the lights!!

[Hermes]

Ok, I know what happened... Gumby is the guy that works for APS!

[GSEN820]

tried to drink all the cold beer, woke up and just like that I HAVE THE POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Winning! I think we should do that once a week. Everybody was outside, talking, getting to know the neighbors etc. I watched from my hill as SD lit up, grid by grid, and as it did, there was cheering and fireworks... It was great :)

[Marcus-SanDiego]

BINGO. Oh, wait, that's the other guy.

Agree. It was the guy from APS!

[GSEN820]

Yea neighbors were out sitting around hanging out. Fun times, as I have not met neighbors.

Pretty funny as I had not been in a city without power since Iraq.

[tripod06]

glad the power came back for you guys. it was as far north as Dana Pint. was with a friend last night and her mom called and her mom didn't have power in Dana Point lol
