Power outages left thousands in Orange County without electricity Saturday morning, Southern California Edison says, blaming 'failed equipment.'

Power outages across Orange County left thousands without electricity for a while Saturday morning, according to Southern California Edison.

At 8:30 a.m., “failed equipment” left at least 5,000 Laguna Beach residents without power. By early afternoon, only a few dozen were still affected, according to Taelor Bakewell, a spokesperson for the utility, and full service was expected to be restored by 3 p.m. Another outage that left thousands in the dark in Seal Beach on Saturday morning was caused by a downed power line, police said on, adding that residents in and around the Leisure World retirement community may have been affected.

Leisure World is home to nearly 10,000 seniors, one-third of the Seal Beach population. The Seal Beach outage was resolved by early afternoon.According to Bakewell, the outages were not related to rainy weather in Southern California. “We have a very wide service area — it’s about 50,000 square miles,” she said. “It can be a range of different reasons for outages, so there isn’t one specific cause, especially for the Orange County area today.
