The outage was one of two that snarled traffic and left some customers without air conditioning on one of the hottest days of the year.
The first was a short outage on McBean Parkway near Newhall Ranch Road caused by underground equipment failure. The power went out shortly after 3 p.m. and took out traffic signals in the area around Copper Hill Drive, McBean Parkway, Newhall Ranch Road and Rye Canyon Road
According to Edison spokeswoman Ana Frutos Sanchez, that outage lasted only 10 minutes before the power was re-routed from another source and restored.
Where is the power? Off of Decoro and Dickerson we have no power?
