Considering this was quite a large storm, power outage numbers for the city of Los Angeles aren't that crazy when compared to past storms. Of course, if you were one of the ones without power (like us), it's never fun. Here are the areas with large power outages, per the LADWP:
San Pedro/Wilmington: 3,000
Venice: 1,400
Sunlund: 1,400
Eagle Rock: 1,000
The rest is made up of smaller outages here and there (is yours not listed? Let us know in the comments).
Over at Vineland and Hortense in West Toluca Lake, a power line was knocked down. If you see any more lines down, call 1-800-342-5397.
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
