Large Power Outage Nearby in Oakland

OAKLAND, CA — PG&E reports three sizable power outages in Oakland, affecting a total of 3268 customers.

The outage area covers most of the area south of I-580, west of I-980 and spilling across I-880 almost to the Bay after it turns north.

Major streets that have traffic signals out include Market Street, Adeline Street, Mandela Parkway, Peralta Street and Maritime Street. Also watch out for 14th Street and Grand Avenue. Reminder: intersections with malfunctioning traffic signals become four way stops, not free-for-all games of chicken.

PG&E hopes to have the power back on sometime between 11 a.m. and noon.
