Why wasn't everyone evacuated two days ago?

Maybe Enron did it.

Remember 5 years ago when they created those CA blackouts? They have tapes of ENRON people joking about shutting down power plants and screwing people.

There should have been a major pogrom after that.

It says "At the downtown YMCA, staff used flashlights to help usher exercisers from the pool and other areas to locker rooms so they could dress..."

Did anyone know YMCA allowed nude swimming?

The same thing happened in Toronto a few years ago, and it happened in the 90s in Quebec due to flare activity.

"reasons unknown". Submitter is a lying asswipe. Fark you, your mother, and your whore of a sister. No reason to get people worried over a minor incident - but if you outright lie about things, you can worry people. Go back to sucking cock for a living.

Tell it to Blitzer not submitter. He was all on the "unfolding breaking news story in Los Angeles, power out for unknown reasons" today.

/seriously. That'd be awesome.

This thread is getting GOOD! Forget the power outage... forget I couldnt get email for a couple hours cuz my servers backup systems didnt work (doesnt matter.. its the best hosting place on the farking planet).. AND.. I couldnt get quotes from our printer's website because they are in Riverside and the power was out to their servers.. I'm seeing hot chicks kissing and that makes things good and well.

Just to throw out a wild, unfounded (?) possibility:

It was revealed at one point that the London subway bombers were storing their explosives in a fridge. They had to keep them cool, or they would sour basically.

Cut the power to much of LA for a few hours, on the day after a threat to the city, and you possibly spoil any explosives stored in fridges. (Assuming, of course, that they didn't have a generator or other UPS. I don't think the London bombers did.)

Just pure speculation on my part, but gosh, really odd how the power went out in LA the day after 9/11, when Al Qaeda said that attacks on Melburn and LA would occur "tomorrow, god willing."

Anyways, it doesn't take a whole lot to tie the two together, whether our government decided to kill the power for some reason, defensively, or some bozo decided to take out a transformer somewhere and the thing got quieted up for whatever reason.

You may now return (please!) to your pictures of hot girl on girl action.

To the power company employee that accidentally knocked out the power to the greater Los Angeles area:



Do it again.

/thank you

"not for reasons unknown I told you, we set down there on company orders to get this thing which destroyed my crew and your expensive ship."

Xear: it took a blackout to get to those conditions? Out in Elsinore, that sort of thing is happening aLL THE TIME.

Buntz's law is useless unless it also applies to Clinton equally. The only true law of the thread over is the Godwin.

I, for one, welcome our new power cutting overlords.

Most humble apologies, oh exalted TFer. For I am but a humble Fark-liter who actually has a life and does not spend every waking minute on this site. Therefore, I may not catch every single reference that you most excellent TFers throw around. I know, the horror!!!one!one11!
