Yep, i'm one of them. San Diego gets its power from arizona and from the north. The arizona line got "cut" in some fashion (they aren't saying how yet) which overloaded the northern line which promptly took a shit, leaving us with no power. San Diego has also been having a little heatwave (95 today) which isn't helping anything. I heard that the outage runs from orange county to Tijuana and and from the coast inland well into the mountains. It's a first class cluster fuck and traffic is screwed with all of the traffic lights out. It's hot and dark in my hotel room and i don't like it.

I'm on my laptop battery with broadband celluar..... for as long as that lasts.....
