San Diego State University experiences power outage

The electrical outage struck at 10:40 a.m. and affected a large portion of the campus and a handful of San Diego Gas & Electric customers in the Kensington and Talmadge neighborhoods, according to utility and university officials.

SDG&E crews attributed the outage to a combination of factors that caused a problem in the electric system.
