SDG&E - Rolling Blackouts

[Deleted]

We are having them in South OC. It's going to be a long hot night with no fans on in the house.

OH NO! Seriously, I'm scared.

We've been ok so far. Sounds like dinner out followed by shopping at the mall!

I've never been a party to rolling blackouts before. How do they work?

[Nicole]

Certain areas on the electrical grid go out bc too many people are using electricity at once. You will just be randomly out of power with a couple city blocks for an unknown period of time. Not fun in the heat.

Did u guys see the news tonight? I guess we are being asked to "try" to use less electricity between 11 and 7 so we don't have blackouts. Yeah right, I see all the fans being on at my house if it's 91 at the beach!!

I got an e-mail tonight that said SDG&E will be charging an extra fee for usage during peak time (11-6) over the next few days until it cools off.

All's good where we are. I think we are with Edison. Suck it, SDG&E!

Lucky! I'm mostly worried about my poor dog. I might try to take her to work with me if the start blackouts. :-(

Turn your computer off!

It's not fun when the nuclear boobies are shut down.
