May use what's left of computer battery backup for a slot machine! They are saying power may not be back till tomorrow? CH :95- P.S. I don't know how you guys who lost power for so long after the storms survived. Title: Re: I need power! Post by: Buzz on September 08, 2011, 10:58:33 PM Mark run down to your local Pep Boys and get a power inverter. Hook it up to your ragged ass car. :25- :25- :25-
I would bring you one, but you wouldn't have any coffee made when I got there. Title: Re: I need power! Post by: StatFreak on September 09, 2011, 12:14:50 AM CH :95- Sorry to hear that. I'm out of the loop. What happened to blackout that large an area?

Not sure how it is spelled anymore has been a "few" years since then... I have my battery jumpstarter with a power inverter next to it if i need it. Candles and flashlights etc.. Plus i have burritos from a local mex joint that has a gas grill! This way i can avoid opening the fridge or freezer. Some jackass in AZ caused this! Better plug phone into power pack to charge. I have my pos ( per Buzz) car as a backup as well... CH :95- Roughing it!!! Title: Re: I need power!

Charging cell phone on car charger port on jump starter! Better save some juice for now! :31- You check out news on internet? I am surprised that you guys have power... CH :95- Title: Re: I need power! Post by: StatFreak on September 09, 2011, 04:05:58 AM Based on the map of the affected areas, it affected San Diego, Imperial, and parts of Riverside countries, but not Orange or L.A. county or north. It might have touched parts of San Bernadino county, but the map suggests that it didn't.

Yes LA was ok, but southern OC was effected. I think they get their power from us. CH :95- Title: Re: I need power! AND I HAVE IT NOW! Post by: CaptainHappy on September 09, 2011, 06:41:35 AM Well I took a nap out of boredome trying to go to bed... I knew it would not last... After a couple hours I got up and went to the potty, got back in bed, and voila! POWER Came on!!!! :50- :50- :50- It was off for just under ten hours, and for the most part we (Me and at least 5 Million other people) survived! (I did just fine!) :244-
:wa :136- :92- :291- My fridge and freezer survived just fine as I opened them up very rarely. Going to leave most of the electronics unplugged still until I know that things are stable on the power grid. :89- :89- :89- I have to share something that I heard from a youg girl walking in the alley behind my house last night: "What do you mean I can't use the :58- ATM!" :208- So weird seeing this on a big monitor as opposed to a 4.3" phone display. :5- It makes me appreciate even more what the folks back east go through after a big storm during a multiday power outage! :131- CaptainHappyNowThatThePowerIsBackOn :95- Title: Re: I need power!
