Southern California Edison said Friday that over 16,000 customers are without power as the utility company continues its shutoffs due to what it claims are elevated windy conditions.
The areas impacted by the shutoffs are Los Angeles Orange, Kern, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties.
CBS Los Angeles notes: “Shutoffs are designed to reduce the risk of fires caused by electrical equipment when strong winds are forecast. Several large fires in the state have been linked to electrical equipment.”
