Blackout in SOMA
...and not the good kind. According to SFist James, power is out in parts of SOMA now (poor Western SOMA!) He report that:
The scene at Harrison and 8th, one block from my house. It is chaos everywhere. DPT showed up quickly at all key intersections, especially this one with the 9th St. freeway exit. Heading another block to see how far this extends.
So far, no signs of looting, raping, and mass hysteria. Yet. And if your power is out in SOMA, let us know (via text or your laptop, of course) of your whereabouts.
Update: Hole in the Wall seems to have power, but its surrounding buildings do not. That is because the homosexuals have made pacts with the devil AND PG&E. Har.
Update II: Power was restored at around 7 p.m., at least according to this very official PG&E notice.

Power still on in the "rich" Folsom/Spear area.
Power out at my office near 7th and Folsom. Also at Brainwash and most places in the area. Everyone calm and enjoying the excuse to leave early on a nice day.
8th and BRYANT ... power
Power is on at 12th and Howard, unforch.
Well, although the power did flicker a while ago out here in the Parkside, we' still going strong.
I suppose all you fancy downtown types just have to run your blow dryers, lava lamps and hi-fis at full blast all day. Serves you right.
Outtage at 17th and DeHaro. Hooray for work stoppages!
So the Parkside has power but thee Parkside does not? Oh the difference a little e can make...
My office can be seen in that picture. Am I being stalked? I'm so glad I left work before the power outage occurred.
Are you saying that PG&E isn't the Devil?
