Residents describe prolonged interruptions
The reports by Zeta Tijuana and Uniradio Baja document the protest and residents’ accounts of multiday power cuts. Zeta interviews different named residents and business owners, including a local account from Costa de Oro. These accounts identify experiences in parts of Playas de Tijuana; they do not establish that the entire district or the city of Tijuana lost electricity.
The reported experiences span different durations. They cannot be combined into one common outage start time without evidence that they concern the same circuit and interruption. This report therefore leaves the exact onset unknown. It also does not turn residents’ estimates into a verified total of affected homes, businesses or people, or a confirmed amount of financial losses.

Spoiled food at the October 6 protest
Uniradio Baja reports that residents brought spoiled food to the protest. Its coverage includes a resident account of electricity still being unavailable at the time of the demonstration. That is an attributed account of conditions then, rather than a measurement of supply across the neighbourhood or confirmation that the same connections remain without power today.
Zeta says CFE had not responded by the close of its article. The available evidence does not establish an operational statement from CFE, the cause of the interruptions, an affected-connection count or a restoration deadline. No verified restoration confirmation for 7 October is available. Reports about other districts are kept separate because a shared cause or incident link has not been established.
Planning while restoration remains uncertain
For household preparation, the runtime calculator helps compare battery capacity with device consumption. The internet backup planner focuses on router and modem power, while the backup essentials guide provides a broader preparation checklist. These tools help with backup planning; they cannot determine whether a particular address has electricity or predict a local restoration time.
