[Updated at 8:02 a.m ET] San Diego Gas and Electric Company says it has restored power to all 1.4 million customers in its service area affected by a massive power outage that began Thursday afternoon.
[Updated at 6:56 a.m. ET] By early Friday morning, power had been restored to 710,000 consumers in San Diego County, the utility said. Power was back on late Thursday for consumers in Arizona and California's Orange and Imperial counties.
Millions, though, were still without power.
[Posted at 5:42 a.m. ET] The California ISO, the state's power grid operator, says nearly 5 million people in San Diego, Orange and Imperial counties may have been affected by the power outage.
The number is an estimate of the average number of people living in households in the region that were without power at the height of the blackout.
The total includes San Diego Gas & Electric's estimated 1.4 million customers, or 3.5 million people, who were without power at the height of the outage.
About 20,000 consumers, or 60,000 people, in Orange County and another 150,000 consumers, or 450,000 people, in Imperial County were without power.
The total does not include those in Arizona or Mexico who were without power.

Yep Scottish Mama, I was asked by my old chief if anything happened could I report in, kinda unoffical, same thing happened in NYC , some firefighters who wzs digging at ground zero with me were recently reitred.
Ya Know thank you. You guys do havea beauiful state just a little to dry for me and I do love my change of seasons. Last Christmas after leaving mass( thats chuch services to all you non Catholics,lol) when I went outside it was snowing. You cant get that in socal. Fl or other sunny places. I guess I do have to stop baseing Cali on (ughh) Bakersfield, lol.
The 4 seasons here are beautiful. Rain usually comes in spring and fall, and enough during summer to have a garden. Winter is white but not as much as Minn. And I do know what mass is I was brought up catholic. I hope the rain comes in waves to TX. so they are not then the mudsliding state.
You don't really think it doesn't snow in SoCal, do you? I live in San Diego, and 10 minutes to the west of my house is the ocean, and a 40 minute drive to the east during the winter are snow- covered mountains.. Please open an atlas.
Hey Scottish Mama guess what its doing here now...........raining again, lol. Well im going to put my name on the unoffical call back list, I guess thats why I was told to keep my helment, and turnout firefighter gear. Than im going to go to one of the Amish mkts. Woo woo, lol bye.
Hello,
That appears to be a picture of Coronado, California, showing the roof of the Coronado Boat House restaurant and the condominiums behind it. While Coronado is near San Diego, that is actually not a picture of San Diego. The photographer needed to be about 180° off from their location of the photo shoot to get a picture of downtown San Diego.

Aryeh Goretsky
Actually that is downtown SD; thats Ruth's Chris Steakhouse and the Holiday Inn on Harbor Drive; I do see the similarities to coronado though.
That really is a shot of downtown San Diego and not Coronado or the Boathouse.
Hello,
Ah, yes. I took a closer look. Thanks for the correction!

Scottish Mama, did you read some strange things on the blog late last night, early AM? I'm not sure if I was dreaming, too high or what. I remember seeing your name that's why I'm asking. Thanks, Mary
Oh if it is true what I read, what is it all about? Mary
Blackout Hit Five Million in Areas of CA, AZ & Mexico. http://bit.ly/pRYseq
This afternoon there were 4 helicopters (one was a very large Flying Crane helicopter) flying circles over the navy base at 32nd Street, San Diego. This activity went on for almost an hour and did not look to be routine. How much would the fuel cost for this? Why would they fly in large circles for almost an hour? Has everyone every similar activity? Could there be more to this story?
You're an idiot.
Say all you want but we still have the best weather in the country... too bad you can't afford to live here
To Matt:
Shaking like an Earthquake in my Hurricane boots straight from North Carolina...
Your nasty... what your mom left you on a doorstep? I would too- many folks, sick children, elders and just people affected. No mercy. hope it hits your neck of the woods one day with you in an elevator 15 stories high
You are
INSENSITIVE OR
IINCOMPETENT OR
MAYBE BOTH
'Jaws' is a classic case of an inconsiderate degenerate. California is honestly filled with people take what they have for granted, as is every corner of the developed world, but one might enrich themselves to think of the cancer patients, grandparents, those on life support, animals in shelters, orphans, and the millions of innocent bystanders in this unfortunate event. Why is his comment even still on a CNN website. I can't even check the news without being morally affronted. Wow. Oh and by the way I'm 17.
You dare to speak of the Lord our God and still in the same breath you curse, degrade blacks, and speak of our gay community. Who's the idiot?
