Pasadena fire inspectors red-tagged 42 buildings damaged by strong winds, and an additional 200 must be evaluated before a second storm hits the region Thursday night, officials said.

Six buildings in Pasadena have been yellow-tagged, which means access is severely limited, said city spokeswoman Lisa Derderian. A red-tagged building means no one can enter.

Pasadena took the brunt of a windstorm that lashed Southern California on Wednesday night and Thursday morning. The Fire Department received 200 calls for service in eight hours, up from its usual 30 a day, Derderian said.

About 4,000 customers remained without power Thursday afternoon, down from 6,000 in the morning.
