Power grid groans, blackouts roll through L.A. area as heat wave nears peak - LA Times:
"Power outages linked to L.A.'s intense heat wave rolled across the city Tuesday.
As temperatures approached dangerous highs, harried crews restored service to one area only to be sent to another blackout.
The scorching heat wave has pushed demand for electricity to an all-time high, and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power dispatched extra crews to respond to damaged equipment that had left thousands of customers without service.
As of 10 a.m., there were 3,300 customers without power, most of them in Los Feliz and Hollywood."
