MySpace.Com Goes Dark After Explosions Caused by Heat Related Power Outages
The record heat has caused power outages in many communities in the five county Greater LA area that is served by the Department of Water and Power (DWP) and Southern California Edison (SCE).
On Saturday, the overloaded electric circuits caused explosions near Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade. Two manhole covers near the end of Santa Monica Boulevard were blown off from explosions in the underground electrical vaults. Flames shot 15 feet into the air but noone was injured. The Santa Monica Fire Department did need to rescue about 40 people stuck in elevators.
The explosions and resulting power outages caused the Santa Monica based business, MySpace.com to go dark 5:40PM Saturday afternoon. It was several hours before power was restored and some areas in Santa Monica were still without power on Sunday.
More than 50,000 homes and businesses in the DWP coverage areas in the San Fernando Valley and Metropolitan Los Angeles neighborhoods of Boyle Heights, Brentwood, Eagle Rock and more suffered power outages on Saturday. Many areas still are not restored on Sunday.
Southern California Edison lost power to more than 145,000 customers over the last 24 hours. Some customers in Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties are still without power on Sunday.
Saturday's electric use set a new record surpassing the record set just last weekend. The unrelenting heat wave is putting too much stress on the equipment that delivers power to homes and businesses and causing the power grid to overload. City officials are everyone to conserve power by not using appliances in the afternoon and using fans instead of air conditioners when possible.

I remember earlier that Tom posted a bulliten stating power went out in a part of LA that had some of their servers and the backup power didn't work so they were having serious issues with some people's accounts and would be working on it throughout the day. Maybe they're either working on it or perhaps the power did go out again & their servers are down.
BTW, if nobody can get on and more than likely your bride isn't on there, don't you have her phone number or at least email?
