Thousands of people without power from Hollywood to Montebello
At least 13,000 customers were without electricity Wednesday night in neighborhoods stretching from Montebello to Hollywood.
A problem at a substation caused outages in Montebello, Alhambra and South Pasadena, according to Southern California Edison.
The outages began around 9 p.m. and initially affected about 28,000 customers, a utility spokeswoman said. Power was restored to nearly 15,000 people in about 20 minutes. Crews were working to restore electricity to all the affected areas.

In Hollywood, which is served by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, an unknown number of customers were in the dark. It was unclear what caused the outage.
