Hundreds of thousands of people in Southern California are still without power on Friday afternoon, Jan. 10, with some residents having gone without electricity since Tuesday because of the high winds and wildfires sweeping the region.

Some 278,000 Southern California Edison customers were affected by outages as of midday Friday, either due to weather or fire-related damage or as a result of pre-emptive safety shutoffs, SCE spokesperson Gabriela Ornelas said.

Los Angeles Power and Water representative Vanessa Lopez said that 56,000 customers were without power as of 8 a.m. Friday, 6,500 of them in the Palisades fire footprint.

Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties are all bearing the brunt of the outages. As of Friday afternoon, about 27,000 customers in Los Angeles County, 64,400 in Riverside County and 16,400 in San Bernardino County were affected by pre-emptive shutoffs to prevent electrical equipment from starting wildfires in high winds, according to SCE. The company did not have figures for power outages caused by fires or wind.
