Black Outs Might Happen this Summer in California?

Sunny California might be in the dark... again (remember last Sept. 2011 So Cal?). This time from a "sidelined" San Onofre nuclear power plant -which is located on the coast near Camp Pendleton and in between Orange County and San Diego County, CA.

The investigators will be checking the tubing that holds/carries the water that is radioactive. During the Summer heat if the twin-reactor plant is offline than rotating blackouts might occur. Utility companies are trying to find back up power.

Phosphorus on Beach Rocks Burnt OC Woman

Recently, an Orange County, CA Woman collected some rocks from San Onofre State Beach (located in San Diego County near Orange County). She put some rocks into her pocket. Later after going home, the rocks ignited on fire in her pockets. The rocks caused I believe 2nd and 3rd degree burns, requiring surgery. I heard through a neighbor (that knew someone that worked at the hospital where the woman went for treatment) that someone with her tried to help her and also got burnt from them.
This beach is near the Marine base, Camp Pendleton.This is also near Power Plants.
I caution people to be careful in this area. It is important to know about these things, and it is unfortunate what happened to this woman. I too collect rocks and would not have suspected a rock to catch fire!
