    Default I almost ran out of gas!

    Did it go as far north as to affect you Shlup?
    Is NCG still in the dark?

    Oh. This is what I am talking about. I had fun with the candles and complete silence and the stars that could actually be seen.

    Anyone have any exciting blackout stories?

    Apparently my power came back on around 10 or so last night, which means my house was without power for like 7 hours. I had left to the casino around 9 because I had heard they still had power and I was hoping to chill in their AC and gamble.

    I heard that it hit all the way up to Orange County and down into parts of Baja California as well as Arizona. Crazy trout.

    It was Arizona's fault.

    I remember the Lake Erie blackout from a few years ago. It knocked out my power. And big cities like Toronto, New York and Detroit. But more importantly it knocked out MY power.

    ... and when I woke up I was standing over him with a spatula screaming "I told you not to go there! I told you not to go there!"

    This is true. Don't blame SDG&E, it hurts me.

    Our power came back on around 1:30AM, but I was at work helping get that power back on till about midnight, so I didn't notice.

    As for how far north it went, only to about Mission Viejo, that's as far as SDG&E's territory goes. It went down into Mexico as well.
