Hollywood Power Outage Sends
City Into Chaos, No Electricity for
26 minutes. 'This is Our Tsunami.'

By Joshua Gates
Actor, Photographer. Victim.

LOS ANGELES, CA, September 12, 2005 - Horror and
disbelief swept through the greater Hollywood area this afternoon as a
minor power- outage turned the city into a virtual war zone and local
residents struggled to deal with the devastating aftermath.

The outage struck at 1:35 PM , during L.A. 's busy
afternoon coffee and Pilates rush hour. Traffic lights fell dark, local
gyms and sushi restaurants were without power for nearly 30 minutes and
many businesses were illuminated only by the light of the sun and its
blistering 78 degree heat. "It was horrible," said out of work actor
and voice-over artist Rick Shea. "I was in a Jamba Juice on Melrose
when it hit and the blenders simply shut down. A woman lunged for my
Berry Lime Sublime and after that, well, it got pretty ugly."
