High winds and downed trees and branches are likely the culprits to blame for the outages. At least one outage in Pacific Beach near Ingraham Street and Fortuna Avenue affecting a few hundred customers was due to a large fallen tree. Some people had been without power since Sunday evening with restoration times of Monday night.
