South Bay Power Outage Map & Refinery Flaring Oct 11

Power Outage Map and Torrance Refinery Flaring

A shelter-in-place order was temporarily issued for Torrance residents near the former Torrance refinery flaring event Tuesday morning, and power outages were affecting more than 100,000 customers in the broader South Bay area.  Flames were visible from 20 miles away.

The refinery has been plagued by power disruptions in recent weeks that have caused a series of unplanned flaring events.

Soooo there's a huge fire at an oil refinery near my house and the power went out 😅😅 pic.twitter.com/fTV160BIhI
