A massive outage has knocked out power to 130,000 homes and businesses across San Francisco, leaving at least one-third of the city in darkness. 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. The city's transportation agencies said they were bypassing some Muni bus and BART train stations because of the power outages. PG&E posted on X around 4pm that it had stabilized the power grid and was not expecting additional customer outages. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie urged people to stay off the roads in a post on social media.
