San Francisco Restores Power to 95% of Homes After Earthquake Outages
San Francisco, CA – PG&E announced today that power has been restored to 95% of San Francisco homes and businesses affected by last week’s earthquake. Crews worked tirelessly to repair damaged lines and transformers in neighborhoods like the Richmond District and Outer Sunset.
“We understand how critical power is to our residents and businesses,” said PG&E spokesperson David Chen. Remaining outages, mostly in remote or heavily damaged areas, are expected to be resolved within the next 48 hours.
Residents expressed gratitude for the swift response, though some criticized the utility for not upgrading aging infrastructure sooner. The city has pledged to work with PG&E to improve grid resilience against future disasters.
