Alarm not go off today? A.M. Power Outage affects Thousands in Huntington Beach

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA — Was your alarm clock flashing this morning? or perhaps you just realized you have no power, like the other 10% of Huntington Beach residents waiting for power to be restored.

A morning power outage affected approximately 3,700 customers in the Huntington Beach area on Wednesday morning.

Reports on the outage were first heard at just after 6:45 a.m.

The outage area is around Golden West Street south of the San Diego (405) Freeway, said Robert Villegas of Southern California Edison.

Within about an hour, power had been restored to about 90 percent of the customers. The cause was listed as an "equipment issue," Villegas said. No further estimate when the remainder of the power will be restored but Edison continues to work the problem.
