"Tens of thousands of San Franciscans are without power after an outage impacted a large swath of the city on Saturday afternoon. Over 53,000 PG&E customers were affected by the outage, according to PG&E's outage map, with impacted areas including the Richmond, Sunset, Haight Ashbury, Hayes Valley, Forest Hill, all of Golden Gate Park and the Presidio and parts of downtown and South of Market."
"Outages were reported as early as about 9:40 a.m. in some parts of the city. There are different estimated restoration times across the city, varying from 5:45 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. San Francisco's Department of Emergency Management is advising residents to "treat down traffic signals as four way stops, keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed, and turn off major appliances to prevent surges.""
