    Any of you guys enduring any blackouts

    2nd time in a week I've had to go through it. Im on vacation so that makes it worse, and me and the kids are home, and with no power its hot to the core.

    Talking about ruining a day. Its funy because i read about it on the news about the power grid and how much power was used, then the next day we all of a sudden have a problem. Again I read about them talking about having voluntary temporary outages, but none seem to be voluntary on my block although the power continues to go south.

    Are they telling me there has never been a contingency plan for the summer and that they dont have one now? How dumb is that

    Seems like California always gets the short end of the stick. I remember when Enron was running/or very much involved in the California power grid and there were roving blackouts back then.

    All I can say is: conserve as much energy as you can.

        Wasn't it Edison International that was responsible for that mess? I think they had the naming rights at the time for the Angels ballpark at the time as well. I remember I was in the Los Angeles area when that whole depacle was at its worst and was at staying with some family and having a shower at night when I got my first taste of the roving blackouts.

              Gotta love Gray Davis....!

              Dre, my friend has been without power for about 50 hours now. Her family ended up going up to Santa Barbara until they restore power to her house. Doesn't that suck? No power outages here in Sherman Oaks, but there was a huge fire on Benedict Canyon and I'm about 5 minutes away from there, so all the smoke is coming here.

              At least it's cooling down.

                      Feels good to be in NorCal. You SoCal cats seem to get it the worst.

                            I experienced a blackout after opening my electric bill. Damn California Edison!!!
