With multiple wildfires still raging and strong winds raging across Los Angeles County, many Angelenos continue to experience widespread power outages.

Since the storm began on Tuesday – a key factor in the Palisades and Eaton fires ravaging tens of thousands of acres in just a few hours – residents across the county have been affected by power outages at the same time.

At the peak of the outages, more than 200,000 homes and businesses were affected in areas served by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and SoCal Edison. Although officials say power has been restored to most customers, more than 90,000 remained without power as of Friday morning.

Phillip Lester and his wife have been without power in their North Hollywood home for three days and only have a few small generators to power lamps and their refrigerator at night.

“I know that power was shut off in a lot of places, and in places that were closer to the fires,” Lester said. “We don’t know why our power is out, we haven’t been given an explanation.”

LADWP trucks worked throughout the night Thursday attempting to restore power to all affected. They say the estimated timeline for power restoration remains between 24 and 48 hours in most locations.

Although Lester is irritated by the inconvenience, he knows it’s far from what many around him have been dealing with in recent days.

“I hope that the people who lost their homes can stay strong and find a way to get over it,” he said. “My heart goes out to them, I really feel for them.”
