Power Outages Affect Thousands Across Regions

Severe weather conditions have led to widespread power outages across various regions in the U.S. In San Diego County, over 3,000 customers are without power due to public safety shutoffs prompted by critical fire weather, with SDG&E monitoring the situation closely. Meanwhile, a powerful storm in Southcentral Alaska has left around 4,000 residents without electricity, and schools have closed due to unsafe conditions and extensive damage from high winds exceeding 100 mph. In Wellsville, Ohio, a downed power line caused by a fallen tree left many without power during freezing temperatures, with repairs ongoing. Additionally, a brief planned outage in rural southwest Saskatchewan is scheduled to affect around 1,100 customers for maintenance work. Utility companies across these regions are actively working to restore power while prioritizing safety.
