Sometimes, It Happens
September 8th, 2011 . by CaryI arranged for two days of vacation this week – tomorrow and Saturday. I have tickets for the family for Legoland. The plan? Drive to Carlsbad, spend time at Legoland, spend the night at a hotel near Calrsbad, and drive home Saturday.
Then, somebody in Yuma triggered an “event” on the power grid.
That event triggered a blackout covering San Diego and the surrounding area.
That blackout strained the San Onofre nuclear plant, causing it to shut down, and powering down the area a bit north of San Diego.
The one little item that haunts me right now is that I passed on the $8.00 “just in case” insurance for the hotel (prepaid! on hotwire!) in case something happened and we were not able to use the hotel for the night we paid for …
Called my friend Doug over in that area. He called the Denny’s in Carlsbad – they never answered the phone. Not a good sign.

Chat ya later…
