Imagine a response time of days or weeks! We're lucky that SDGE has the ability to field crews asap and the means to restore power to most customers while making repairs. Thank you SDGE for your timely response and thank you SDGE crews for being on top of it!

C. Kinnan, imagine these kind of outages STILL happening in the 21st century, the Age of Information! If this were 1913, then perhaps I could understand it. But 2013? Get real.
