OVER 15,000 AFFECTED BY LOCAL POWER OUTAGE LAST NIGHT
Thousands of Morongo Basin residents were without power for about an hour yesterday evening. Southern California Edison reports that at 6:42 p.m. Monday, about 7,200 homes and businesses—over 15,000 people—from Morongo Valley to Wonder Valley and some parts of Landers, were without power until 7:35 p.m. Some isolated areas were without power longer. The Morongo Valley Fire Department reports that a transfer switch at Canyon House Road and Elbow blew, knocking out power throughout the Morongo Basin. It’s not known at this time if the power outage is related to the planned power outage on the Combat Center. The Combat Center was to have been without power from 8:30 Monday evening until 6:30 this morning.
