**Power Outage Disrupts Avenida Loma Grande in Rosarito Due to Fallen Electrical Cables**
On the morning of December 10, the residents of the Lomas Altas area in Rosarito found themselves cut off due to fallen power lines on Avenida Loma Grande. These incidents were sparked by the strong Santa Ana winds that began the previous night. Additionally, other instances of downed poles have been reported on Boulevard Benito Juárez and the intersection between Paraíso East and Perla Street in Lomas de Rosarito.
Residents from several neighborhoods, including Popotla, Los Ramos, Cumbres de Rosarito, and Villabonita, have taken to social media to report power outages. Other affected areas include Benito Juárez, Melchor Ocampo, Real de Rosarito, Constitución Parte Alta, Ampliación Plan Libertador, Aztlán residential complex, Cumbres del Mar, Villas de Costa Rica, Primo Tapia Parte Alta, and San Miguel.
The Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) has not yet released an official statement regarding these incidents. However, reports suggest that they are currently gathering information to address the situation. There is still no estimated time for restoring power or removing the fallen cables. It was noted that the outages are not directly linked to the Santa Ana winds but rather to the arrival of cold front number 14. According to the National Meteorological System, this front will bring temperatures ranging from 15 to 10 degrees Celsius and may cause frosts in Baja California’s mountainous regions with temperatures plummeting between 10 and 5 degrees Celsius.
