A power outage affected swaths of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood Tuesday night, as thousands were plunged into darkness.
At 8:38 p.m. 2,886 customers lost power in Beverly Hills and another 389 Southern California Edison customers lost power at 8:02 p.m. in West Hollywood. A large part of the city went dark, stretching all the way to Culver City.
By Wednesday morning, the Los Angeles Department of Power reported that crews continued to work on "scattered outages" in the San Fernando Valley. The outages resulted from downed power lines.
Also, a Los Angeles Fire Department urban search and rescue crew was sent to West Hollywood to secure a billboard threatened by high winds on the 8900 block of Santa Monica Boulevard.
The issue was reported at around 10:10 p.m, with officers on the scene saying the sign was blowing like a sail due to the gusts. No injuries were reported.
