I was at my girls house all day today. Her place has power, so we were just playing playstation move.
The Edison website said the power would be back up this morning at 8:30, but nothing happened. Website said it'll be up at 8:30pm. I left my girls house around 10 (she lives in Burbank btw), and driving on the 134E, as I passed the 2 freeway; I notice that the power is out all over the city.
Get to Pasadena, and the bottom half is ok, street lights are at least working. Got to my area, and it's pitch black, except for the light coming from my car!
It's been 2 days, and still nothing.
I got pics on my camera, but can't upload em to my computer cause we got no power.
Once all this gets resolved, I'll post pics of how bad Pasadena got hit by the storm..

Arcadia, CA around 11:00 p.m on 11/30/11... sitting with friend in car chatting. All of a sudden leaves and small pebbles start hitting my car. Next think you know, my car was swaying back and forth which felt like an earthquake. Saw at least 15 ambulances, fire trucks and cop cars with sirens blazing down Santa Anita avenue around 12:00 a.m. driving home around 1:30 a.m. car was being pushed side to side by winds and there was absolutely no power up here in the mountains. Driving with high beams on and literally every second a giant downed tree or huge branch would pop up forcing me to swerve quickly and almost crash trying to avoid them(30mph). Still no poweer- 12/3/11. My college professor said these winds reached category 4 hurricane winds speed which is crazy. 3 days with no power is ridiculous. I've been charging my phone through my car. Be careful out there, its pretty hectic
