Once again California is hit with power outages. This time though the power outage takes down one of the more popular sites on the Internet–MySpace.
But that’s not the only place in California that went dark.
George Ou blogs that his power went out in Silicon Valley. And a friend of mine in San Diego told me power went out there for awhile too.
Evidently authorities are blaming the blackouts on the excessive heat. Could be.
Our power went out here (Scottsdale) yesterday for about 45 minutes in the early evening, during one of our summer monsoon storms. Brief power outages aren’t that unusual here, although they are getting less frequent. We don’t have a generator, but the flashlight and spare batteries are always around. It’s one more reason I like my Tablet and EVDO. If the power goes out or there is a big electrical storm, I can run unplugged yet still connected to the Internet.
