SAN DIEGO — Power was mostly restored Thursday for hundreds of customers in the communities in Julian, Santa Ysabel and Morettis Junction according to the San Diego Gas & Electric website.

As of 5:30 p.m., SDGE's website showed that 38 customers in those communities would be without electricity until 7 p.m., according to SDGE, which cited an equipment issue as the cause.

The outage, which affected more than 400 customers, began right after noon. Power was restored for 294 customers in the communities of Boulevard, Jacumba and Live Oak Springs on Thursday afternoon, but others in San Diego County remained without electricity on the holiday, according to the San Diego Gas & Electric website.

The utility said around 60 customers in Campo, Dulzura and Potrero remained without electricity due to a foreign object crossing power lines.

Estimated restoration there was 6 p.m. SDG&E reported an outage just after 12:30 p.m. in eastern Ramona affecting 324 customers, with power expected to be restored around 7 p.m.

Power apparently was restored for 10 customers in Bostonia, East Granite Hills and El Cajon, according to the SDG&E website.

Spokesman Alex Welling said while crews were sent out to determine what caused the outages, Thursday's high winds could be a factor. He said crews were on standby during the busy Thanksgiving holiday, adding, "We want to make sure that people have power."
