Thank you for your Oct. 24 editorial “Cutting Power Isn’t Success–It’s a Failure to Deliver” about SCE’s public safety power shutoffs. I agree wholeheartedly. This last power outage was the worst thing for anyone to experience, especially a senior citizen/or disabled.
I live in the Camarillo Springs area and our power was out for 33 hours. Longer than friends and family elsewhere in Camarillo experienced. Why? Our utilities are all underground. SCE tells you where you can help yourself ahead of time, but it’s baloney when you have no power and when it is pitch black at night and you are using lanterns to maneuver through your house.
A few years ago the power rarely was cut; now it is frequent. Above all SCE must repair and maintain their equipment. SCE desperately needs to get their act together. P.S. I have always enjoyed your paper.
