Every completed forecast is compared with when power actually returned. As of Aug 19, 7,878 completed outages have been graded this way — median error 2 hours across the most recent 600 of them (about 1.9 days), and we publish the misses.

Common questions

When will my power be back on in La Quinta, CA?

Reporting a downed line helps crews find the fault faster. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.

Does this page show La Quinta specifically, or the whole county?

Right now, the Riverside County county-wide view, which covers La Quinta. No utility outage map we follow has yet listed an outage for La Quinta by name; utilities here have so far reported only county-wide totals, or used area names we cannot match to La Quinta. If that changes during an outage, the city's own count and restoration time appear here automatically. Indio (6 mi NE) is the closest place we track separately.

How accurate is the restoration estimate?

Every estimate is later graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), and the track record is published on our accuracy page. Estimates firm up a few hours into an outage once a steady restoration trend appears; very small outages are marked "too small to estimate" rather than guessed.
