San Francisco Outages Leaves 130,000 Without Power
A significant power outage hit San Francisco on Saturday, affecting 130,000 homes and businesses, according to Pacific Gas and Electric Co. The outage started in the northern part of the city, impacting neighborhoods like Richmond, Presidio, and areas around Golden Gate Park. The cause of the blackout is still unknown as PG&E has not provided any comments. The outage affected about one-third of the utility company’s customers in the city.
Reports from social media and local news outlets indicated widespread closures of restaurants and shops, as well as darkened street lights and holiday decorations. Public transportation was severely impacted, with Muni trains unable to operate underground into Muni Metro or Central Subway, and BART stations at Civic Center and Powell closed. Muni shuttle services were running between West Portal and Caltrain.
The San Francisco Department of Emergency Management advised residents to avoid nonessential travel and treat down traffic signals as four-way stops. City transportation agencies bypassed some Muni bus and BART train stations due to the power outages.
A fire at a PG&E substation at 8th and Mission streets contributed to some of the blackouts, according to fire officials. By 4 p.m., PG&E reported that they had stabilized the power grid and did not expect additional outages. However, they could not confirm if power would be restored by the end of the day.
Updates from Pacific Gas & Electric on Twitter indicated that they were working with first responders and city officials to address the outage affecting 130,000 customers. The San Francisco Department of Emergency Management also tweeted about the situation, urging residents to only call 9-1-1 for life safety emergencies and providing tips on how to stay safe during the outage.
