“Its possible customers may still come across damaged infrastructure,” said McGregor in a news release. “Should they find a downed power line or damaged equipment, stay clear and call 310-2220 or 911.”

McGregor adds the storm knocked out power to thousands of people, with a couple hundred still left in the dark Friday night into Saturday.
