poll: the Great San Diego Blackout and nadin

[dutch508]

Teh Jooooooooooooooooooooooos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to add that it was a harrowing 6.5 hours without power, at times I wasn't sure if I would make it.  Fortunately, my neighbor had tiki torches burning and I was able to somehow stumble into his backyard, only to be refreshed by a 24oz glass of Guinness.  I can only hope that there are other survivors.....

You did buy that powdered milk though, right?

Good thing she had emergency food

Out, lent one to neighbor, the batteries out, I cut into quake supplies... Yummy canned fish!

My cable...will have to fight the old set to get volume back. Ah back, even the tv... AC is off and will stay of..the grid is as fragile as can be.

Checked on neighbors...

Had some canned fish and chips for dinner.

Need to go get some groceries and make fresh coffee.

I will get food out today though...minimize energy use. The grid is really unstable still...got it back in the morning and was off later.it is back on.

Oh and how long? They expected three days...took eighteen hours...

She lost power for 18 frickin hours and she broke into her emergency supplies? 

[Evil_Conservative]

Not just any emergency supplies, her earthquake supplies.  I'm waiting for that San Diego earthquake to hit any minute now.  Anyone near the button?

Rats.

And I was hoping for a few nadin-free days.

Yes. Everything affects Nadin.

Fellow san diegans
 Keep power use down...The grid is really fragile still.



This is coming from the presser right now on the radio.

This is coming from the presser right now on the radio.

Don't you love it how nadin tries to seem on the "in" on things?

"Presser," as if she's one of them, using their slang.
