Full Notification

A major Power Outage occurred this morning at approximately 7a.m. affecting the City of Torrance and surrounding cities. There are still approximately 10,000  residents of Torrance and 20,000 residents in the south bay without power.  Southern California Edison (SCE) is working on the problem and SCE expects to have power restored by 6p.m. tonight.  Please be cautious driving through the city as there are many intersections with the signals on red four way flash.
