A massive power outage hit Los Angeles yesterday, leaving thousands of residents without power. The outage began at around 4:30 p.m. and affected a wide area of the city, including downtown and the west side.
The cause of the outage is still under investigation, but officials say it may have been caused by a fire at a power substation. Crews are working to restore power as quickly as possible, but it is not clear when full service will be restored.
The outage has caused major disruptions to traffic and public transportation. Many businesses have also been forced to close, and schools have been canceled for today. Residents are being urged to conserve energy and to stay away from downed power lines.
