As winds began picking up overnight and the strongest wind event of the season hit, more Santa Clarita Valley residents woke up without power Tuesday morning.
More than 14,600 Los Angeles County residents were without power Tuesday, including residents from Acton across to Newhall and up to Saugus, per Southern California Edison’s outage map.
Estimates for power restoration in some of these areas were not available Tuesday morning, and were expected to be updated as weather conditions improve. Other areas aren’t expected to be restored until noon Thursday.
Over the weekend, Edison customers across L.A. County, including many across the SCV, were added to the Public Safety Power Shutoff map, indicating their power may be shut off in the coming days.
