Shocking news from San Francisco! A large power outage left 130 thousand homes and businesses in the dark. This information was spread by Pacific Gas and Electric Co through social media.
The power was out in the northern areas of the city, which include Richmond, Presidio, and other neighborhoods near Golden Gate Park. As a result, some establishments had to temporarily suspend operations, and street lighting was turned off.
The San Francisco Fire Department recommends that people refrain from unnecessary travel due to issues with public transportation.
Recently, power outages have not been uncommon around the world. For example, in Paris in November, 170 thousand homes were without power, and a similar situation occurred in the Dominican Republic, disrupting transportation and businesses.
It is also worth mentioning the August power outage in Spain and Portugal when major cities such as Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon, and Porto were left without electricity.
