Reportedly, there is some kind of transmission problem and the power is out over large sections of LA and the surrounding areas.

LAX apparently still has power.
 
It's coming back on now.

Apparently, it failed just before 1pm PDT after two power surges. The major outage was a proactive step to shut down the network before it cascaded. Power is now coming back one area at a time.
 
ABC reports that a LA DWP (Department of Power and Water) employee accidentally cut a cable and caused it.

(this concludes my coverage - time to go home anyway)

Wonder who will be the first to blame the President? ;)

Howard Dean will tell us, "Clearly, the power failure was the result of the administration's disreagrd of issues of race."

wonder how many companies sent workers home.
Our HR actually sent out a policy that you won't get paid time off during a power failure.

I put up a picture of Montgomery Burns. Well.... I did that when they turned the heat down and told complainers to wear sweaters.
