Description

A utility company spokesman says the San Francisco power outage that left thousands in the dark was caused by a "catastrophic failure" of a circuit breaker. That failure in turn caused a fire at a power substation.Pacific Gas & Electric spokesman Barry Anderson says power has been restored to about 23,000 of the 90,000 customers. They previously had lost power in a massive swath of the central city.He says soot from the debris of the fire swept across the area. It took out more customers.In a statement posted on its website, PG&E says it expects to restore power to about 25,000 more customers "in the next few hours." It said power would be restored to remaining customers late in the afternoon.http://hosted2.ap.org/APDEFAULT/386c2...http://www.wochit.comThis video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
