Power out in North San Bernardino neighborhood
A power outage is being reported in a North San Bernardino neighborhood near Lynwood and Del Rosa.
A commercial plaza that includes two bars, a beauty shop and Terry's Liquor store have all been without power since about 3 p.m. Tuesday after a nearby power line went down.
"We can't use our refrigerators, our freezers or cash registers," said Lois Craig, the owner of Greenbriar Bar and Restaurant in the business complex, late Tuesday.
"We got evacuated from our home in Lake Gregory last night," Craig said. "We figured we could stay here but there's no power here. I called (Southern California Edison) and they told us there were 1,800 people affected by this."
Craig said she was puzzled about why it was taking so long to restore the power, especially since she could see a crew working outisde. She said earlier in the day, power workers blocked off the street, turned off all the power, cut the wire and left.
"I called them three different times," she said. "They told us they didn't know when power was going to come back on."
