(EDITOR'S NOTE: Sorry for the confusion with the tweet, guys--the terror threat and power outage are indeed not correlated.)

Communities in San Diego up to South Orange County are experiencing power outages right now, NBC reports.

Hope to God it's the heat and not tied to what the Associated Press is reporting:

Law enforcement officials have received a specific and credible but unconfirmed terror threat, according to a counterterrorism official.

However, the threat has nothing to do with San Diego and South County and everything to do with New York or Washington . . . where the president and Congress will all be together this evening.

Yikes!

Intelligence apparently unearthed the threat Wednesday night

why with temps at 113 has there been no talk of opening shelters with generators for elderly, small kids, and the ill?

Because we aint got the money.  A/C, generators, etc. costs $$$.  Why is everyone on this website always looking for a handout?  OCW cultura I guess.

Uhm I think the "threat" you are referring to is for 9/11 not tonight.

Im hearing its not terror related, simply an equipment malfunction at a substation near the Palo Verde Nuclear Plant in Arizona. The malfunction created a chain reaction shut down at Palo Verde and San Onofre here in SoCal. The last I heard over 1.5 million homes are affected In Southern California, Arizona and Mexico and power could be out until tomorrow afternoon in some areas.

"However, the threat has nothing to do with San Diego..."  Is this what it's come to?  Tricks for clicks?
