The severe weather that swept through the Valley Saturday evening caused several power outages that left thousands of customers in the dark.
The largest outage in the Valley was in Sun City, where nearly 2,400 customers lost power just before 5:30 p.m., Arizona Public Service said.
The outage was caused by an interruption to a major power line in the area, shutting down power from Camelot Circle to Sun City Boulevard and 111th Avenue to 103rd Avenue, APS said.
Power was expected to be restored by 9 p.m.
In central Phoenix, more than 1,700 customers lost power just after 6 p.m. when a major power line in the area was interrupted.
The boundary for the outage was from Lynwood to Van Buren streets and 7th to Central avenues, APS said.
At about the same time, power went out for more than 1,800 in another central Phoenix neighborhood from Edgemont Avenue to Brill Street and 7th to 20th streets, APS said.
Power for both central Phoenix outages was expected to be restored by 10 p.m.
Salt River Project had not reported any major outages reported as of 7:15 p.m.
