2. Are you in Westchester or up there somewhere?

We're OK here in the South Bay....Manhattan, Hermosa and Redondo Beach cities, as far as I know.

Cheers!

3. Culver City

Looks like the west side and SF valley out. Could be 12-48 hours before restored. Glad it isn't affecting all of so cal

[question everything]

4. What about Westwood and Santa Monica Blvd? (nt)

6. Santa Monica and Westside out

Looks to be north of Lawndale up through SF valley. Not sure if north into SC valley

10. Very

Have lanterns but not much to do. No internet and phone battery about gone. Guess I'll have to read an actual book

[braddy]

15. Thanks

Will check it out when I return to 21st century

18. Just the first sentence in the book will do, can you charge your phone in your car?

That book is "Paul Clifford", the 1830 novel famous for it's opening sentence, "It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents—except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets, rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness."

21. Will charge it in car

In the morning if power is still out. I have a wind up charger but too lazy (tipsy) to bother with it tonight

[braddy]

23. Can you plug it into your laptop to charge it and use it?

[Lebam in LA]

24. Forgot about that

Thanks for reminder

11. Thanks

Looks like more areas than I 1st saw

[pinboy3niner]

20. Good luck

I noticed that for Palms a crew is enroute, with estimated restore time not until 6:30pm Saturday.

I rented a house there while going to college in the early-mid '70s, just a few houses north of Venice Blvd.

9. So far so good in Sherman Oaks.

But I better find some candles.

17. We're still good in Canoga Park but there was a bunch of flooding on the surface streets

earlier.

[Lebam in LA]

19. Hope it stays that way for you

[Beaverhausen]

26. Silver Lake affected too

A friend has been without power over two hours. I'm ok in canoga park.

[Warpy]

27. Don't forget that melting pint of ice cream

Make vodka floats.

Everything else will stay frozen.

[Lebam in LA]

28. That sounds incredible

Unfortunately no ice cream. Must add to survival grocery list
