Its 1:39 pm. How long will it take?
An approximate if anything
This could still be going on tonight.
I wonder if the city can fine SCE for failure to maintain its property. A large part of the electric bill is for maintaining the delivery wires and poles.
Well I read somewhere that there was a wire broken from the wind. So I dont blame SCE.
And I know (because I saw them) that they are working on more than 1 location
Very dangerous work. The SCE techs have our respect as well.
