LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Thousands of Southland residents were without power Monday morning, primarily due to weather.
More than 11,000 Los Angeles Department of Water and Power customers and more than 5,000 Southern California Edison customers were powerless as of 9:45 a.m.
LADWP customers in Mar Vista, Palm, Venice, South Los Angeles, Rancho Park and Cheviot Hills were primarily affected.
SoCal Edison customers without power include those living in El Toro, Corona Del Mar, Hacienda Heights, West Covina, Valinda and Hawthorne.
Both companies are actively working on restoring power to all residents.
Anyone in need of more information, can visit the LADWP or SoCal Edison outage pages.
L.A. got a meager spritz of showers — I can't believe it caused power outages!
Just wait, Mexifornians - your power problems are just beginning. When you become fully Mexifornized, you can enjoy the benefits of being governed just like that rich nation just to the south of us.
Hope you enjoy the cartels...Hollywood is already very dependent on them.
Seeing how important electricity is to civilization, a reasonable person would have thought that civilized humans would have strengthened the system for delivery of power so that outages are very rare.
I was wrong.
LA just has to find a way to tap the energy of those wild fires and Santa Ana winds.
