More than 100,000 homes in Los Angeles endured triple-digit temperatures without power at some point during this nearly week-long heat wave.
'Extreme heat has caused power outages in some neighborhoods. @LADWP crews are working to restore power quickly and safely,' Mayor Karen Bass posted on X last Friday. According to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, from Wednesday to Monday, 109,827 customers had their power cut at some point during the heatwave, which brought record-setting temperatures to downtown Los Angeles, Long Beach and LAX.
By noon on Monday, crews had reduced the number by more than half to 6,700. About 100 minor outages affected a fraction of the 1.5 million customers the LADWP serves, according to the utility company.
