San Francisco [US], December 21: A massive outage knocked out power to 130,000 homes and businesses in San Francisco on Saturday, Pacific Gas and Electric Co. said.
The power failure left a large swath of the northern part of the city in the dark.
Social media posts and local media reported mass closures of restaurants and shops and darkened street lights and Christmas decorations.
The San Francisco Department of Emergency Management said on X there were "significant transit disruptions" happening citywide and urged residents to avoid nonessential travel and treat down traffic signals as four-way stops.
