CNBC report Los Angeles has large power outages...

[djheater]

I hope they get power back soon... I can't imagine this board would survive without the neffing of our LA contingent.

Connected with this Al Quaeda threat?

 

[linkgoron]

It's Marwan, runnnnnnnnn

 

[Metron]

What can Brown [not] do for you today?

 

[rh71]

but it's 9/12. There's nothing significant about that.

So... who else flew yesterday ? It was fun.

very possible... newegg.com and .net are both hosted out of La Puente, CA (in LA) according to their whois.

Newegg doesn't have UPS or generator backup? They run their own servers? Odd for a business so large.

If it had stayed out a little longer I would have been able to go home! Oh well, at least I got a 2 hour lunch out of it.

Those last for 15 minutes tops, don't they ?

Newegg's location is in Rowland Heights, isn't it? There's a fair distance from RH to LA.

it's only 22 miles according to maps.google.com. Looks like RH is in orange county.


EDIT: nvm Rowland heights is in LA county.

 

[shopbruin]

Well of course he does, they didn't vote for him and Ahnold is always using long words Bush doesn't understand.

I think it's the north-east's turn next.... I smell a 9 foot snowfall in PA coming...

We just had a huge power outage a year or so ago (*cough* Ohio *cough*) that somehow affected most of the Northeast except my house. I think we had a blizzard in recent years too. I think it's time for the midwest to get what's do... I'm looking in the direction of Detroit.

Pshh, the midwest gets a blizzard atleast once a year. Not to mention all of our tornados.

HAha, whoops.
