Power's out

[Image removed]

The power went out again at Oxy last night. I remember last year when we lost power in some gargantuan flooding rains, we stopped school for three days while repairs were made.

This time the power was only out for a few hours, basically from 11:30 to 4 am. As far as I know, one of the cables that pumps power in to oxy split and fell to the ground, and did some odd electrical things that basically made us shut down power for the LA power & water folks to fix everything up.

What do you do when the power goes out late at night? Most people assumed that today would have no classes (incorrectly) and stayed up to party. I took pictures because I’m a loser.
