The streets are mostly clear, the lights are mostly on and local cities are busy toting up the damage from the wind storm that ripped through the area last week.
Pasadena sustained close to $20 million in damage from more than 1,200 downed trees that crushed cars, knocked out power lines and scarred homes and businesses, according to city officials. San Marino is estimating damage of $5.6 million, while South Pasadena leaders put the damage at $1 million and counting.
On Thursday the last of nearly 434,000 affected Southern California Edison customers saw their power restored, but not before the utility took a pummeling from local politicians and learned the California Public Utilities Commission will conduct a probe of Edison’s response.
