    Thoughts? concerns?
    It is, of course, obvious that speed, or height of fall, is not in itself injurious ... but a high rate of change of velocity, such as occurs after a 10 story fall onto concrete, is another matter.

    I like how its called just an outage like it happens all the time. I would worry about the other power sources at this time. They are giving all the warnings of how not to use power but not saying to cut back. IDK-scary.
    Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.

    and they issued post outage warnings to boil water...so one grid item going down will affect several others.

    Apparently when power went down a sewage treatment plant spilled 3 million gallons of raw sewage. Not a good day there.
    I also heard yesterday one guy pulled a electrical board doing maintenanceand that caused the shutdown. It also took a nuc plant off line.

    The nuc plant would be San Onofre just outside of Pendleton. I hadn't heard about the sewage spill or the boil water thing, but that could be over in Imperial County. Only small portions of Orange County were affected, the southern tip, I don't believe it was any farther north than Laguna Beach. I'm leaving Thursday night on a 2 day outer banks tuna trip out of San Diego, so I'll report on what I see first hand.

    I think a lot of this reporting was MSM hyperbole.

    Other than the actual power outage, you know it could've been MSN hype/lies from the start. Problem with that is there's always a little truth in most lies.

    Very true Lb. My friends in San Diego County had their power back on at ~ 8 pm that night. Local news says all residential power was restored by 10:30 pm. But it could have been a dry run, you just never can tell.
