Santa Ana winds, which forecasters said could reach up to 70 mph during the day, ripped through Southern California on Wednesday, sending up red-flag fire warnings, slowing motorists and potentially contributing to power outages.
Thousands of Simi Valley residents were without power Wednesday morning, according to Southern California Edison, with some areas not expected to have service restored until about 10:30 a.m.
Meanwhile, an overturned box truck forced officials to close the slow lane of the eastbound 101 Freeway just west of the 405 Freeway interchange.
The accident caused slowing as far east as Burbank and south to Skirball Center Drive, said a California Highway Patrol spokeswoman.
