Southern California residents face more windy weather

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Another blast of strong winds has been buffeting Southern California.

A high wind warning is in place Saturday for Ventura and Los Angeles counties, with gusts up to 60 mph expected in some areas. City News Service reports wind gusts of 73 mph were clocked atop a mountain near Acton.

Residents are still cleaning up from this week's violent windstorm that brought down trees and knocked out power.

Southern California Edison said early Saturday that its crews have restored service to all but 9,400 customers who have been without power for nearly four days. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power says about 17,000 of its customers remain without electricity.

The latest winds bring increased wildfire danger. Fire officials have moved crews and other resources into areas of western LA County that are prone to brush fires.
