San Diego Gas & Electric restored power to thousands in Barrio Logan, Logan Heights, Mountain View and Lincoln Park Tuesday afternoon.
The outages were reported at around 4 p.m. A half-hour later, more than 6,000 customers were without power and SDG&E didn't know why.
The utility expected to have power restored by 6:30 p.m., according to its outage map, and by 6 p.m., the utility reported only 71 customers in the were still without power. Those 71 customers could expect to have power back by 7 p.m., SDG&E said.
SDG&E has not confirmed the outages are weather-related, but they started amid increasing wind speeds in coastal areas that NBC 7's First Alert weather team expects to stick around all week.
