LOS ANGELES – Thousands of Los Angeles Department of Water & Power and Southern California Edison customers were without power Saturday morning after a thunderstorm with lightning dumped nearly four-tenths of an inch of rain in parts of Southern California.
DWP reported approximately 6,000 customers across Los Angeles were without power, down from 10,000 at the height of the outage, and crews were working to restore electricity to the remaining customers, in most cases by noon.
