I've seen screenshots of outage maps and the affected areas around NYC and SF - I'm referring to the diameter of the "hot areas" - look about the same. Hadn't heard NYC was just a few MTA trains - got a link on that? Genuinely curious, cause I saw other comments saying outages in Seattle too, which isn't showing on the outage maps and which definitely has power - I'm in Seattle, so I'm assuming I'd notice (even local news should have said something by now anyway). So, not sure what's accurate at this point...
SF was a faulty breaker at a substation, caused a fire, took forever to put out. Power should be back on by 5pm, though this has been pushed back all day.
^ This. Rational comment that just so happens to also be true. Whoever downvoted you is one sorry sap, he's one of those people that WANTS the world to be evil
On mobile so copypasta is difficult, but my uncle works for PG&E and can confirm. Substation is located on Larkin, supposedly an older breaker failed and caused all these issues.

NY had a couple subway trains, L.A. was an escalator at LAX. Only SF had real power problems.

Saw a bunch on posts in this sub, here's the YouTube video linked in one post, which had as a thumbnail a pic of the outage map:

NO NO NO!!! Power doesn't just go out all on its own!!! Name just 1 time when power has failed anywhere ever!!!
THE GOVERNMENT IS TRYING TO KILL US ALL!!!! WHY CAN'T PEOPLE SEE THIS?
IT'S HAPPENING!
n/a horridCAM666 2017-04-21
It's not the fact that power went out in SF, it's the fact that it went out in SF, LA AND NY.

I was being extremely sarcastic. I guess that wasn't picked up by everyone.
n/a horridCAM666 2017-04-21
Apologies.

Get used to it. Rolling blackouts will only become more common in the future.

I think this is a test, much like the Boston bombing, to gauge our reactions.

There's supposed to be a drill tomorrow in SF, which seems a bit odd.

Not to mention this bizarre video of NK nuking SF.
