Power outages:
More than a quarter-million Southern California Edison customers lost power during the recent storm, as did more than 42,000 Los Angeles Department of Water and Power customers, and more than 14,000 were still without power late this afternoon, utility officials said.
Storm-related problems last night and early today included transformer fires and wires knocked down by falling trees or high winds.
About 252,100 customers had service interruptions of several seconds to several hours since midnight, said SCE spokesman Gil Alexander.
Late this afternoon, about SCE 6,530 customers were still without electricity, he said.
About 36 percent of Edison customers affected by the storm were in communities around Los Angeles, 27 percent were in the Inland Empire, 26 percent north of Los Angeles and 11 percent in Orange County.
Power has been restored to 34,000 DWP customers, while 6,530 were still in the dark, said DWP spokesman Joe Ramallo.
The majority of DWP outages affected customers south of Mulholland Drive, with about a quarter of the outages in the San Fernando Valley, Ramallo said.
Most customers lost power for a few hours or less, although some were without power for longer periods, Ramallo said.
At 4 p.m., more than 8,062 DWP customers were still affected by power outages.
DWP had 61 crews in the field working to restore power to affected customers, Ramallo said. The utility supplies power to 1.4 million electric customer accounts, nearly all within the city limits.
