I haven't seen Sean post about this yet, so figured I would.

California's been getting hit with a nasty storm since yesterday that's
taken out some more major power plants; the CAISO declared a Stage 3
(rolling blackouts all around) power emergency just before 9 AM PST today.

See http://www.caiso.com/SystemStatus.html for pretty graphs.

Have you test-run your backup generators and transfer switches lately? }:>
