"Winds knock out power to thousands"
LOS ANGELES - Thousands of residents were without power yesterday as strong winds knocked down power lines and blew blinding dust across desert roadways. About 9,900 customers of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power were without electricity, mainly in Hollywood, Silver Lake, and West Los Angeles, said agency spokeswoman Carol Tucker. By midmorning, winds were still blowing at 20-35 miles per hour in many areas (AP)."

Anything to get you into the fascista "justice" system, 'eh, readers?
