"PG&E attributed this Saturday's outage to the storm that swept through the city and the larger Bay Area over the last few days on its website. The exact cause is not yet known. The company immediately dispatched a "troubleworker" who arrived at the scene at 11:41 a.m. according to Megan McFarland, spokesperson for PG&E. "We currently have three troubleworkers on site assessing the situation and are starting to switch customers to non-impacted lines," said McFarland in an email."
"The company's website promised to restore power by 3:45 p.m today, and by 2:30 p.m. all had lights again. The San Francisco Department of Emergency Management warned residents that the power outage was also affecting traffic signals in parts of the Sunset and that any intersections with dark signals should be treated as all-way stops, via a post on X."
