US: Major Power Outage Leaves Thousands in Dark in San Francisco 5

A major power outage hit San Francisco on Saturday evening, December 20, at its peak affecting about 124,000 customers. Power was gradually restored, reducing the number of affected customers to around 24,000 by early Sunday morning. Large parts of the northern and western areas of the city were left in darkness, forcing store and transit closures and suspending Waymo’s driverless taxi service. The cause remains unclear, though a fire at a PG&E substation may have contributed, and the outage also disrupted public transportation and communications.
