This is a breaking news story, and it will be written in a rough form as I get the news. First of all, we have the AP saying: SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A power outage struck a wide area of San Francisco on Friday, blacking out about 90,000 utility customers, snarling traffic as intersection signals went dark and stopping the famed cable cars for a time.
Pacific Gas & Electric crews were assessing the problem and there was no immediate estimate for restoration of electricity.
Brent Chapman, who works in billing and reporting for First Republic Bank, told his team to go home after huddling on a sidewalk and waiting for word of when power would be restored.
His team had been ready to send out a finished project Friday, one they’d been working on for six months, after some had pulled an all-nighter.
“It’s brutal. This is seriously the worst possible time that this could have happened,” he said. “I do not want to leave. I want to stay and get this done.”
The San Francisco Chronicle reported (http://bit.ly/2pN3o6b ) the outage also affected the Presidio, and KRON-TV reported effects stretched to the Marina/Cow Hollow area.
San Francisco has a population of about 850,000.

Right— info from a “sergeant” with Naval intel info, so they say, and a NK “nuke” sub.... they don’t have any nuke subs. FWIW which is pretty much everything.
Presidio = Pelosi’s friends. I hope it’s hot today.
It’s never hot in SF. They call it “the air conditioned city”.
Hmmmmm. I’d almost call it an omen, especially if L.A. got hit as you say — but then, I have a nice tinfoil hat given to me by our leader, so there’s that.
Yeah, I’d expect the NK wacko (or jihadists whenever they are able) to try to move something in on a ship at a port city - SF, LA, NY, Miami, Houston, etc. to try and strike.
I believe there IS a solar storm going on, may be a factor.
LOL! A good time to get their freak on.
The whole post?
Thnx
you actually have some decent stuff from time to time...
No.
False fag!
nully, *ducking* and running for cover...
And widespread rioting and looting will ensue.
But. No power outages.
Call me a conspiracy believer on this one. Our second largest port for an entire evening and the next morning LA, NYC and San Fran.
Too much coincidence for me.
Only 90,000 customers affected?
Here in the DFW area we’ll have 200,000 customers loose power when a line of big thunderstorms rolls through. It’s no big deal if your not a self-esteemed snowflake.
Major power outage at LAX.... I had to trot every stair... God has a way of making me exercise....

— GSpizzle (@GarrettSpy) April 21, 2017 LAX’s official Twitter account, however, was mum about any major power loss. It did put out a tweet at 9:27 local time regarding malfunctioning traffic lights, but that was all.
RT @LAAirportPD:#LAXTraffic Traffic Lights on Imperial & Main & Imperial & Pershing are malfunctioning & flashing. Repairs pending. Caution.
— LAX Airport (@flyLAXairport) April 21, 2017 Travelers in the airport, however, reported long, slow lines at TSA checkpoints.
