How could I forget to mention that!!! It happened when I was at work last week. From what the news told us, it affected over 4 million people ranging as far South as parts of Mexico to up North to Orange County. The blackout supposedly will cost over 100 millions dollars which includes the 70 million dollars in lost revenue that businesses that were affected had incurred. http://www.kpbs.org/news/2011/sep/12/blackout-not-productive-san-diego-economy/ory Check this link out to find out more information about the power outage last week.
My family was not affected that much, however I am blessed that no one I know was harmed and it played out very smoothly. It actually gave us a chance to leave the doors open and windows open without depending on the air. That evening it was in the low seventies and had a light breeze where we stayed. I was able to cook dinner, because we have an electric stove, so I was able to light the pilot on the stove and still enjoy a home cooked meal. The kids where sitting on the couch having a peaceful conversation with us until they fell asleep around almost nine o'clock. Personally I feel it wasn't that bad, besides a little traffic on the way home.
