15. don't they call it Piggy?
I still think that if solar flares did this, and Bush's ratings improve as a result, god has a really nasty sense of humor.

5. I figure
the person who responds is the one who did it. Certainly they would have saved themselves the inconvenience. ;)

13. The LA Times
says the blackout covers "from downtown to the coast and north into the San Fernando Valley," so sounds like you lucked out. I would advise against driving into the city today though, I'm thinking the traffic is a god-forsaken nightmare.

18. My brother who works for a MAJOR refinery said to fill up those tanks
because it takes the refineries a week to get back up to speed and we know the oil companies will use ANYTHING to gauge us.


The refinerys affected would be Unocal, Arco and Texaco/Shell

22. Good!
I just SMS'd a friend who's working in Santa Monica. They have power, but her house doesn't (Studio City).

I hope if you're not home, you can get home safely!

26. You know, I almost amended
