Did anyone else in San Diego get this email today??



It feels like h-ll out here in East County (for all you non-San Diegans: it's the hottest part of San Diego county where I live). I will be watching my energy usage - and I don't even have air conditioning :(

"San Diego Gas & Electric HEAT EMERGENCY DECLARED!!!!!

Due to extreme heat conditions, a Power Emergency has been declared.

We are asking all customers to take immediate conservation steps through
Tuesday, September 4:

Set your air conditioning thermostat to 78 degrees or higher, health permitting.
Turn off unnecessary lights and computers.

Do not use any major appliances, ie. dishwashers, washing machines, dryers and electric stoves.

Please turn off pool filtering systems.

People who are temperature sensitive can visit Cool Zones throughout the county.

Due to the excessive heat, SDG&E is experiencing system outages. Both SDG&E and contract crews are working to restore power to all affected customers by late Tuesday afternoon.

In addition to continuing to conserve energy, be prepared for possible outages. Keep emergency supplies on hand, including fresh batteries and flashlights and non-perishable food and water. Have an emergency plan in place if a member of your household depends on life-support or needs other medical equipment. This may include a back-up power source or transportation to another facility."
