I'm about an hour east of darkzero, and feel the heat. I've belonged to SCE's summer program where they can shut off your AC during high demand. The discounts are great, and I don't remember being shut off in past 15 years or so. Well they did last night around 7 pm. It was unpleasantly warm, especially in our upstairs bedroom. It came back on sometime after I fell asleep, and felt great upon awaking. It's been working all day, and I hope she stays on.
