SoCal Edison Warns of Possible Wind Related Outages

The agency wants you to know how you can help them keep track of unplanned outages, since freezing temperatures are in the forecast for many areas across the Southland.

As freezing temperatures and strong winds are forecast for much of the region, Southern California Edison is reminding customers of ways they can report unplanned outages.

Outages are expected because of a Santa Ana wind event forecast through Tuesday and possibly Wednesday and the freeze warning and frost advisory that has been issued through Tuesday morning.

"SCE is preparing for this wind event and the possibility of unplanned outages in your community," an alert from the agency said Monday night.

You can report any unplanned outages on Facebook and Twitter, via the mobile "SCE Outages" application, online at www.sce.com/outages or by calling (800) 655-4555.

Edison also reminded customers to be careful when using portable heaters and electric blankets during the extreme cold forecast for the next two days.

@Muslim radicals are the problem here. This jihad/war whatever the hell you want to call it, willRead More never end in our lifetime. Ultimately the Muslims will win. Look no further than Europe. Unless there is a full fledged worldwide war, they really can't be stopped. Their numbers are too great. What we are doing in Afghanistan is nothing more than swatting away a bee every time one flies out of the hive. But there are millions still in the hive. Unless we close our borders to people from the Middle East and parts of Eastern Europe, what happened in Boston will continue. It's not racist to not like Muslims just like it wasn't racist to not like the Russians during the Cold War or Germans during WWII.

Thanks to these two scum brothers, I can no longer transport my hearty meals in my trusty pressureRead More cooker via backpack. As an alternative, I tried to fit a crock pot, but it ruined my backpack zipper and made a meatball/marinara mess inside my backpack; even making way into the USB ports of my laptop. Sorry, tupperware won't cut it. It just gets too hot and eventually leaves a huge welt on my back.
