This is a fairly good approximation of the disruptions we'd see to MUNI with an earthquake strong enough to start knocking down weaker buildings. Imagine all of the above, plus fires, greater BART delays/shutdowns and citywide panic.

I wonder if that Whole Paycheck has a diesel generator to keep the freezers and fridges going, even though PG&E power is out. Otherwise, that's a lot of pricey food that's going to have to get tossed out.

Any websites with resources that show where power is out? If mine is, I'd like to get some candles/batteries when I leave work.

Dang, I'm one of the 518k. Actually, PG&E told me they were now up to a 900k users without power. And they won't be able to restore power until tomorrow. And we don't even live in the woods, we're near dolores park.

Anyone know anything about outages in the Richmond, specifically 22nd/Geary? Just curious to know what to expect later...thanks.

So the next storm will be called Ashley?
