California Weather Conditions Ease Significantly

LOS ANGELES (AP) – California weather conditions that led to power shutoffs to prevent wildfires and fanned fires that broke out around the state have eased significantly.  Southern California  Edison says only 1,100 customers remained without power early Friday, down from 80,000 the previous evening.  San Diego Gas & Electric says power was restored Thursday to more than 25,000  customers and its community resource centers have been demobilized.  Pacific Gas & Electric has finished restoring power to dozens of counties in the north and central regions.  Cal Fire says  containment of the state’s largest fire has increased to 67 percent.  Latest assessments show the 121-square-mile (313-square-kilometer) fire in Sonoma County has burned 167 homes and 175 other structures. Another 33 homes are damaged.
