San Francisco Faces Widespread Power Outage as Thousands Remain Without Electricity

A massive power outage in San Francisco left approximately 130,000 customers without electricity, severely impacting businesses and transport. The outage, linked to a fire at a PG&E substation, caused disruptions across the city, forcing self-driving car service Waymo to halt operations as vehicles stalled at intersections. While power has been restored for most customers, around 21,000 residents are still experiencing outages. PG&E crews are addressing the situation, with expectations of full restoration, but many are still without power as the city grapples with the aftermath of the blackout.
