Dan will be OK. Power outages are a common occurrence in Calif. Many of those who've found it difficult to just get up and leave that dying but once great state because of the horrendously incompetent Democrat controlled state & local politicians, have been buying and installing whole-house backup generators. The big laugh is they're gasoline or diesel fueled beasts.
Obviously, this tragedy is an opportunity to learn. All the Liberals who blocked the clearing out of underlying brush and stopped the flow of water to LA County because these idiots couldn't handle the terrifying thought of environmental development or heaven forbid!--not being a sanctuary state and not continually giving out handouts & freebies to all those illegal aliens they slobber over, are now paying the hard-core price for being so dumb. And by rufusing to vote for or even listen to Republicans who've repeatedly warned them this was coming, they are now getting what they've long asked for.
What goes around comes around....and in such a teachable way.
