About 15,000 Southern California Edison customers are without service, a spokesman said in a statement today.

In areas that Edison crews can reach to assess the damage, approximately 151 sites have downed power lines, at least 162 poles require replacement and 15 transformers have blown out. Edison says 493,000 customers have been affected since the high winds and wildfires began Sunday.
