God forbit he should take his family to a hotel/motel where they would be safe and have electricity and food.

I still hope he and his family are safe and not in any immediate danger from fires ect.

Edit: Make that as of a few minutes ago he still doesn't have power, but is using what he can muster from his car to get on the internet to post about how he doesn't have power. Weird Druff stuff.
If you actually had a family instead of making your life about lying on forums, you'd understand better.

How many kids do you know who enjoy having no internet these days?

Having internet during a power outage makes it more tolerable, especially if you've previously charged your devices (or have portable chargers), and just have connectivity. I also have a microcell device so I get a good signal on my cell phone during the outage.

This requires a power block to work. When it dies. I need to use my car to recharge it. Unfortunately I overdid it and drained my battery, so I had to jump it and then drive for 1-2 hours to restore the car battery. Oops.

Anyway, I have an outage again now, so this really sucks. I got a whopping 2.5 days with power before today's outage.
Somehow I think we will be seeing one of these quotes hundreds of times in the future. Nothing like throwing fuel on the fire, pun intended.

You still haven’t answered why you don’t leave to go to a hotel inland. Crack open the Jew Wallet (your term) and get the hell out of there while power is an issue. And it appears more winds are coming so you’ll be dealing with it for a few more days.

I just got back from Palm Springs and there was a lot of evacuated people in town. My understanding was they were offering lower rates for the evacuees though I’m not sure what the qualifications were.

Palm Springs never had the power shut off but I was out by Joshua Tree National Park in 29 Palms 2 nights and it was cut off in the afternoon both days. With no restaurants open and no internet with shit cell service I know what you are talking about. The winds were intense last week so I understand the reasons, but it’s also another reason to get the hell out of there for a few days. I love visiting CA but would never live there.
