Over the past week, winds and fires have ravaged much of Southern California, impacting millions of residents and leaving many without electricity. Southern California Edison is working around the clock to restore power to affected customers.

Due to unsafe conditions, restoration in some areas is taking longer than usual. Since Jan.7, power has been restored to more than 400,000 customers.
