A fire weather alert was issued by the Los Angeles Fire Department due to high-fire danger as a result of the winds.
As a precaution, SoCal Edison announced that preemptive power shutoffs may occur throughout the Southland, with confirmed shutoffs in Orange and Ventura counties. Customers in Calabasas were also dealing with public safety power shutoff with the city saying on X, formerly Twitter, that a large area north of the 101 Freeway was without power for a period of time.
