Power outage

So still no power. Apparently someone ran into a transformer on South St. and knocked out power in the area. Apparently there are people working on it, very slowly.

We’re at my parents waiting for my sisters to get back and let us in to shower and stuff. The hot water relies on electric pumps at our apartments. Looks like a half day at work today. :/

ETA [12:27 p.m.]: I’m at work now, got in about an hour ago. After going to the SoCal Edison site to see what the hell the status is, I couldn’t find the phone number on their site at all. Went to google like I should have and found out the following:

1-800-655-4555 7:45 p.m. on Thursday: widespread power outtage. A traffic accident caused power poles and lines to go down. Repairs may be delayed due to extra service personnel being needed. Estimated restoration of power 3:30 p.m. Friday.

I haven’t opened the fridge or freezer doors since a little before the power went out. Fortunately, there isn’t much in the fridge, save for some cheese and a ton of condiments. The freezer is another story, however. I hope it doesn’t really thaw out but if it does, I guess I will have to spend the weekend cooking.
