The Wachs family’s power went out at 10:20 p.m. on Friday, just before the ferocity of this weekend’s epic storm peaked, lashing Southern California with record winds, rain and snow.
By 7 p.m. on Sunday — 45 hours after they lost electricity and hot water — the family of five’s home in Tarzana was still cold and dark. Hannah Wachs and her husband, Jeffrey, spent Saturday checking the power utility’s outage map over and over again, tracking the ever-changing estimate of when their lights would come back on, and whether a crew had been assigned to fix their blackout.
“My husband and I would get different robo calls from LADWP,” Wachs said. “His call said the power would come back on at 2:30 p.m., but then I would get another call a few minutes later saying that it would be a long time before anything happened.”
