Watching the news, you'd really think people in the valley survived a major disaster when the power went out for 12 hours.

I can understand the lack of lights, phones, TV, and refrigeration, but they also had to deal with (gasp) NO A/C !!!

- Oh, I get that it was hot. But lots of us survive without A/C on a daily basis - although I think I'll spend some time at the mall tomorrow :-) -- nm - Meg Jul 9, 20:14
Did they have Internet? -- nm - Mop Jul 9, 18:55 3

I got lucky when I lived in tarzana. I was nextdoor to a hospital & on their power grid and was immune to rolling blackouts every summer -- nm - peglegpete Jul 9, 18:47 4
- Yup, I'm on the same grid as police and fire. Yesterday's Northridge outage was due to an explosion in a DWP facility. -- nm - Meg Jul 9, 18:54 3
  - Russians? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 19:24 2

Poor PMB may never have hot water again. -- nm - David Jul 9, 18:36 1
