A timeframe for restoration is unknown, police say. Police in Torrance and Gardena say the outage is affecting traffic signals. Police are advising people to expect delays, and drive safely.

Good thing this happened on a Sunday, an outage like this on a work day would have been calamitous! Especially in that area of SoCal which hosts lots of industry.
