    yep- link to story on Drudge: http://www.fox5sandiego.com/news/ksw...,6894078.story

    it's San Diego County, Imperial County, parts of Orange County. Potentially millions of people. It's late afternoon there- so rush hour ought to be horrible.

    Not to mention: San Diego US Navy facilities (do they have their own power plants?) Camp Pendleton, USMC

    Odd that they haven't said it's not terrorism related yet... they're usually quick to get that message out...

    @latimes "All 1.4 million of our customers are currently without power," says San Diego Gas & Electric. Follow @SDGE for updates on #blackout.

    Also, someone elsewhere reported parts of Mexico are out too.

    "I must not fear.
    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing....only I will remain"
