Massive Power Outage Leaves 130,000 in San Francisco Without Electricity
San Francisco is currently facing a widespread power outage that has impacted around 130,000 customers, leaving many businesses and homes in the dark. The outage, triggered by a fire at a PG&E substation, has affected various neighborhoods, including Richmond, Sunset, and Presidio. As emergency responders deal with the situation, Waymo has temporarily suspended its autonomous taxi service due to stalled vehicles on darkened streets. While power is gradually being restored to thousands, approximately 42,000 customers are still waiting for electricity to return. Residents are urged to remain indoors as repair efforts continue amidst the holiday chaos.
