There was a major electrical black out on Saturday evening which affected a large portion of West Ranch. All of Southern Oaks, The Stevenson Ranch Market Place and a large swath of Stevenson Ranch were without power for hours.

Apparently a transformer blew out in one of the underground vaults in the community. Residents were using flashlights to get around their homes and made the best of the outage. Others took advantage of the situation by un-corking a bottle of wine and having a romantic evening by candlelight.

Traffic lights were out at major intersections including Pico Canyon and The Old Road, Constitution and Pico Canyon, Stevenson Ranch Parkway at Pico and at Poe Parkway. Some of the signal lights were still out on Sunday morning but were back to normal by Sunday afternoon.
