A major power outage knocked out electricity to up to 5 million people in California, Arizona and Mexico on Thursday, bringing San Diego and Tijuana to a standstill and leaving people sweltering in the late-summer heat in the surrounding desert.

They said some tech guy changed out a faulty monitor and caused it.

Five million people without power till late friday.

Can you imagine all of that frozen food wasted?

Gonna be about 100-110 degrees in Palm Springs/Coachella Valley today. Welcome to the desert again, folks. Hope the folks in Idyllwild and elsewhere in the mountains are bracing for hordes of folks trying to escape the heat.

They claim it was due to power losses as well. Yet this was about the same time my hotmail account got hacked.

You guys can't be serious, 5 million without power, kiss about 10 million if refig goods goodbye.

I doubt the temperature would ever be such a problem though
