Southern California Edison said 1,993 customers were without electricity in an area surrounded by Landers, Yucca Valley, and Sunfair Heights Friday morning.

Edison had blamed Wednesday and Thursday’s electrical storm for damaging transmission equipment in the Yucca Valley and Twentynine Palms areas.

Most customers were expected to see their service restored by 3:00 p.m. Friday, according to the SCE website.
