Does anybody know if some of Los Angeles has lost power?

[DeepModem Mom]

I hear from the Valley that there seems to be some kind of brown-out, but they don't know what area is affected. They're a little spooked because of the "terrorist tape."

[Atman]

1. Uhm...how would they be replying to you?

MSNBC breaking..."Large portion of LA without power." And spreading rapidly.

[DeepModem Mom]

5. Thanks, CNN doesn't have it yet.

And while you were posting, I edited my subject line. I posted too fast!

2. It's all good in Reseda. nt

[kahleefornia]

4. whoops - cable's out though.

Now that's an emergency.

[me b zola]

19. I grew up in Reseda!!!!!

I went to St. Catherines of Siena through grade 6, then Northridge Jr. High, then Cleveland high.


Sorry, I know it's not relevent to the thread, it's just that I often think of "home".

3. Look away from the Breaking Brownie News... Terror Terror!

Sorry, I'm just ever more cynical on a daily basis.

[maine_raptor]

6. Chaney getting a re-gen again?

[Pithy Cherub]

7. KTTV - Channel 11 is out (Faux so no loss)

But the other channels are ok...

[Imagevision]

8. Yes, just heard all of Los Angeles has lost power, no reason given

Could be Rove as usual creating distraction...this may be something serious...?

[shance]

22. Not true. Alot of LA still has it. IF there is any terrorism written in

to it, it would be Dick Cheney's brand.

[Maple]

9. drudge is using his flashing light

headline is

MUCH OF L.A. LOSES ELECTRICITY

[Pithy Cherub]

10. Channel 4 NBC reports in downtown LA people stuck

in elevators. Waiting for generators to kick in.

[AlCzervik]

11. cnn just confirmed it, from LA to San Fernando valley---

officials have no idea as to why.

[mandyky]

12. Just on CNN now!

Oh jeebus!!

[Whoa_Nelly]

13. CNN just reported loss of power over large area (Los Angeles)

San Fernando Valley. So far no one knows why.

[tgnyc]

14. Michael Brown was just made head of the electric company!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

17. tgnyc

[HereSince1628]

15. Oh GOD!! Get out the Winter Coats! It's the end of the World!

Ooooooppppppppssssss! The prediction was for September 19th, not the 12th. I

[Misunderestimator]

16. Yes, live on Local news.

Wow... on edit.. this looks big. I hope it doesn't reach here.

[Pithy Cherub]

18. Electricity Out in Century City, Culver City, Koreatown,

DWP says started in one or two power stations and it continues to grow...

[melody]

25. We've been there before

Ahnold probably taking out his frustrations about being hated.

[Pithy Cherub]

31. yep. look at Channel 9 - the traffic jams are starting to get ugly too

[kahleefornia]

32. ohh...I didn't think about traffic lights..

yeah, that's going to suck.

[melody]

34. LA people are used to it

It just turns everything into a stop sign (that only one out of every two drivers obeys).

This used to happen a lot when I was a kid...back when dinosaurs roamed La Brea.

[Imagevision]

20. They're a little spooked because of the "terrorist tape."

timing is uncanny! hope this is nothing but the timing sucks!

[abbeyco]

21. Are those energy boys

manipulating the grid again?! :sarcasm:

Actually, I hope there's resolution soon, who knows what
the heck is going on.

[melody]

23. this has happened before

It's probably a coincidence vis-a-vis Doogie al Qaeda.

Everything seems fine in the Antelope Valley (except for being a Republican cesspool).

[marions ghost]

24. the last time

Enron was behind it.... Domestic Terrorism:-(

[tjdee]

26. This is completely unacceptable.

I want those energy meeting notes NOW.

:grr:

[shance]

27. The "terrorist tape" or the Dick Cheney "tape"?

[nadinbrzezinski]

29. !

My Girlfriend Lives In Los Angeles...


Not you....


But I don't find anything remotely funny about this....

[DeepModem Mom]

35. Me either, DSB -- this is a family member, who called me from work.

I'm not in LA, and I'm a worrier.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

37. My GF Lives In Koreatown And Works In Hollywood

[Democrat 4 Ever]

36. Leslie Blitzer is having a cow over the power outage. So much

for a cool, calm, sane voice of reason during trying times. I know this is serious, needs to be fixed but Leslie is losing it and just freaking. Good thing he wasn't on the air during the Kennedy assassination - he would have fainted dead away with the first news burst. Jeez, stay calm freakoid and just report the news.

Where is a Walter Cronkite, a Chet Huntley, or a David Brinkley when you need him?

[onecent]

33. Bush gonna come to the rescue!!! n/t

[displacedtexan]

38. My daughter's power (Hollywood & Vine)...

(Actually one block away) went off, but she went to the breaker box, pushed the lever, ans she now has "some" power.

Thank goodness for cell phones.

[Zomby Woof]

39. I am in south L.A. County

No problems here.

[SouthPasadenaDem]

40. Our power just came back on about 5 minutes ago

here in Downtown Los Angeles. Don't know about the rest of LA, however.

[tishaLA]

42. I Hollywood we had a brief outage

But it was back quickly. Somehow, it gave my modem the chance to have a fit, though.

[DeepModem Mom]

43. UPDATE: The family member who called reports power back on...

at least in that area of the Valley.
