Southern California Edison was considering power shutoffs as of Friday morning, according to its outage tracker. Recent rain helped, but the Weather Service says live fuel moisture is still in the 65-80% range. We suggest skipping anything that could spark a fire and reviewing your evacuation plan.

  • Outages: isolated downed trees and power outages expected in both counties
  • Fire risk: elevated from Friday night through Sunday

Edison was weighing shutoffs for 2,363 LA County customers and 297 in Ventura County
