Major power outage in San Francisco. Whole city is down.
I'm currently with power in a green zone just hoping it doesn't spread anymore (but prepping for if it does). I only learned about the outage on Bluesky.
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Now they say power is out until 8:15.
Fortunately Matilda has a power block and three portable chargers so we can keep the phones charged and use them for a hotspot.

Thank goodness for Matilda picking up so many portable chargers in Japan. Just loaned one to my downstairs neighbor so she could charge her phone and she and her son could go out of the car and back into the house.

The power came back on.
I guess there was a fire at a Substation that took out most of the City.
I hope my ice cream is okay.
