Transformer blown live wires 4000 Block of State street at San Marcos Self Storage that was alittle while ago.
At Cath Oaks and Turnpike I’ve had about 3 “power warbles” only 2 of which actually shut down my computer. But it’s to be expected in this wind… lots of strain in those power lines when winds gust past 35+mph.
Power at in Mission Canyon on Exeter Pl/Cheltenham.
Called SCE and they said there is no outage in my area. OK, sure.. Geez, whats going to happen when we get extreme weather in SB, is the whole place going to just explode???
Power just restored at Exeter Pl in Mission Canyon. Fingers crossed.
Two brief outages on the Westside this morning, long enough to turn off the computer.
About 4 second power interruption calle real & Turnpike . Shutdown my computer too.
SCE power outage map shows outages in 3 areas…
Downtown lower State St, Upper State around mission area and in Goleta just south of the 217
I could hear our local transformer struggle with power flickers earlier. Be safe out there lots of rain forecasted for Tuesday and Wed.
Trees down wires sparking latest wires sparking transformer tripped 3600 Block of Callle real, wires arcing Modoc at Palermo, Audible alarms…Etc.
4 now – 10,000 people affected in San Roque
Another transformer around 154 & State St. 12:40 pm. Power interruption 20 sec. It shut down all my electronics.
Be cautious using portable generators if you don’t know what you’re doing. They can easily create electrocution hazards due to grounding issues, fire hazards due to electrical connection and fuel storage issues, and carbon monoxide hazards due to exhaust gasses entering nearby buildings. That said, a properly installed generator can be a great help. Any qualified electrician can do the job right or inspect the work of an inexperienced DIY job.
