RAMONA, Calif. — Thousands of utility customers in the Ramona area are without power Friday morning due to an unplanned outage.

According to the San Diego Gas and Electric outage map, more than 2,800 customers are without power as of 6 a.m., though the cause of the outage is "unknown and still under investigation."

This is not related to Public Safety Power Shutoffs, though the Ramona area is among the areas that may also be impacted by possible shutoffs.
