San Francisco Hit With Power Outage

.c The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO (Dec. 8) - A power failure enveloped a large part of the city today, knocking out traffic lights, halting elevators and disrupting the morning commute.

Reports of power outages came in from as far away as Stonestown on the Pacific Ocean and the financial district along San Francisco Bay.

All of the traffic lights in downtown San Francisco were out, callers told KGO Radio, which also had reports of outages across the Bay in San Ramon.

At The Associated Press office downtown, there appeared to be a power surge shortly after 8 a.m., then the power went out completely.

Calls made from Los Angeles to transportation services, utilities and home phones went unanswered.

The power surge was experienced as far north as Napa and across the bay in Hayward, dimming lights, making TVs goes fuzzy sand knocking computers off line. But power is back up in those places, according to callers to KGO.

In San Francisco, electricity remained out, crippling the transportation system which relies on overhead power lines. Muni buses and trolley cars were stalled in the streets.

*Note the power outage in SF is a "power surge" problem and this post is not implying it was a Y2K related issue. Only clairifying that SF is NOT a TAVA client but the County of Los Angeles is.
