SAN FRANCISCO, CA — A massive outage has left more than 125,000 people still without power in San Francisco Saturday night.

"We are aware of a large outage in the San Francisco area. Our crews are working as quickly and safely as possible to restore service," Pacific Gas & Electric said.

As of about 7:31 p.m., 125,095 were without power, according to the PG&E outage map.

If you don’t need to travel tonight, please stay off the roads and stay inside," he said. "We will be expanding officer presence at intersections and corridors to ensure the safety of those still on the road. We remain in close contact with PG&E as they restore power and will keep everybody posted as work continues."
