San Francisco Businesses Forced to Close as Power Outage Continues with No Estimated Restoration Time
An underground equipment failure caused a power outage affecting thousands of PG&E customers in San Francisco on Wednesday night. As of Thursday morning, less than 500 customers are still without power, but they are major customers in the Financial District and the Cruise Ship Terminal at Pier 29. The areas most affected are the Financial District, North Beach, and Nob Hill. The outage is expected to last until Saturday due to a vault fire that caused the equipment failure.
