A routine operation at two San Francisco substations triggered a massive power outage Saturday morning that knocked out electricity to about 9,400 PG&E customers — while a separate system glitch mistakenly alerted roughly 120,000 customers that they had lost power.
The blackout began around 9:45 a.m. when a protective device on the electrical system activated during the procedure.
The utility said customers in the Richmond and Golden Gate Park neighborhoods were initially affected.
PG&E’s outage notification system then dramatically overstated the scope of the blackout, incorrectly indicating that 120,000 San Francisco customers were without power.
“120,000 customers were never out of power,” said Edgar Hopida, a spokesman for the company, in a statement to The California Post.

WTF?
The libtards in San Fransicko need to live their values and shut off all of their A/C.
120,000. That’s all?
To all that are affected by this, just wear a flower in your hair.
Cut the ‘Rats off.
Let them live in their fervently desired third world Utopias.
“120,000. That’s all?”
Not even that - 9,400 according to the excerpt (the 120,000 only got a false alarm). Hardly a “massive” power outage.
“Massive power outage strikes San Francisco as system glitch warns of chaotic blackout”. It’s Paul Pelosi’s hammers and Gavin’s hair gel.
“Double Glitch”...9,400 w/o power...120K notified (SMS/phone calls to customers) that their power was “affected/out”. Kinda easy to tell when you are w/o power. Duh! My Mom is “rural” PG&E and she gets the “notifications” by phone call when the power goes out (quite frequently I might add)...they give you “an estimated time of repair” on the message.
Stlll a couple thousand w/o power in SF:

Movie— Devil (2010)
A group of people are trapped in an elevator and the Devil is mysteriously amongst them. M. Night Shyamalan story based on the folklore belief that the Devil gathers a group of sinners together before taking one.
Wait until everything in the state is electrified (no natural gas) with no upgrade to the grid. Power on 4 hours a day, maybe?
No need for AC in San Francisco.
San FranSicko is one giant glitch.
But it says, "120,000 were never out of power."
'Well we had a scare there, but we were never not out of power. 120,000 never out of power. The rest, well, 120,000 were never not. Never.'
Thank God the legacy MSM is dead and keeps shooting themselves in the power pack.
The specific incident was most likely not planned, but general sabotage of the grid is part of the deal with Democrats.
“No need for AC in San Francisco.”
Isn’t that the truth!
The high over the next 10 days is 71 or below.
Except one day is 77.
Their lows are in the high 50s.
No high rises in the affected area.
M. Night Shyamalan - ‘Devil’
Thanks! I have liked all of his movies, but I missed this one. :)
We still watch ‘Signs’ every Halloween and/or ‘Young Frankenstein.’ We live very rural, so unfortunately we have no ‘Trick or Treaters’ to terrorize that evening. BOO! ;)
