Power out in parts of San Fran.

Hi.

Just saw this on drudge....www.sfgate.com...

I guess it is affecting the financial district, parts of BART, and some traffic signals.

It is more than that, 3 major cities are affected. New York City, LA and SF. link
Not sure of restore status or adverse impacts at this time for any locations, if any.

Who is causing it?
Do you think it may be the Russians or Korea or may be the Chinese ???

I saw one of the posts on the newspaper website said something about NY having a power outage but I wasn't sure if it was true.

Hmmm....strange indeed. Thanks for the info.

I was about to post this -- surprised no one on here had gotten to it sooner. I am unsure on the exact numbers but I've read that 95,000 were without power in SF and that the outages all coincided with one another; but no correlation has been identified as of yet. I find it highly suspicious that a number of major cities grids go down around the same time.

Is that you Kim ?

ND has been reporting on the threat to America from EMP, the electromagnetic pulse from a nuclear explosion high in the sky, since early in the 2000s when former CIA chief James Wooley, former Defense Department staffer F. Michael Maloof and former Congressional EMP Commission member Dr. Peter Vincent Pry were sounding the alarm.

Meanwhile, NJ Transit had extensive problems of its own Friday. The Raritan Valley line saw delays of up to an hour at one point because of an Amtrak switch problem near Newark. The switch problem also delayed Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast Line and MidTown Direct trains between Newark and New York.

Add on New Jersey.

Tin foil hat time. SF, NY/NJ are major internet hubs where fiber goes across the ocean to Asia and Europe. LA has some trunk lines too. I wonder if someone wants to disrupt internet traffic? Maybe little Kim in NK is peeved about Syria and the MOAB?

Just a thought. Most of it is on back up power anyway. But who knows, right?

Strange but not really suspicious.
Minor outages....NY is already back up and running according to the link.
95,000 is not really that many to be affected, about a month ago here in Michigan, we had over 800,000 out of power from a wind storm.
It was the largest outage in DTE Energy history, some people didn't get power back for 7-10 days.
Now if the entire east or west coast went down like in 2003, that would be suspicious.

The Pentagon have warned that the entire country could be plunged into darkness following an imminent EMP attack by North Korea.

The Pentagon’s technology division, Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DAFRA), are urgently developing ‘alternative communication networks’ in the event of an attack.

Wow, that's interesting...........Democrats now more in the dark than ever before!

I was in the Bay Area when the electric company maintenance crews Earthed high voltage lines prior to working on them. Unfortunately, they forgot to isolate those circuits from the rest of the active power grid. So they ended up grounding the entire power grid. There's also the hazard of mini-diggers hauling up power lines or fibre-optic cables.

Maybe SF, NY and LA are the cities with the most maxed-out or oldest power grids?

No other reasonable explanation.
