Just a quick note to let you all know that there is a massive power outage affecting the Southwestern U.S. right now. The outage began around 3:40 P.M. PT and is affecting all of San Diego County and parts of Orange County, eastern Riverside County, Imperial County, part of Arizona, Tijuana, Mexico down to Ensenada.
Here is western Riverside County where I am, we have power. I feel for those without power as it is still hot outside. My thermometer reads 98 degrees at 5:20 P.M., however, it did get up to 108 degrees earlier today. Read about the outage on San Diego Fox5 News...
UPDATE 5:50PM: The loss of power led to a shutdown of two reactors at the San Onofre nuclear power plant, which is about 27 miles from my location! AHHHH! According to the Los Angeles Times, officials say power may be out until sometime late tomorrow evening.
On a side note, I feel even worse for those without power, NO OPENING DAY NFL FOOTBALL!! :-( - (Green Bay up 7-0 midway through 1st Qtr.)
