Residents of New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco found themselves without power leaving commuters stranded and traffic at a stand-still.
New York City was the first to be hit at 7:20 Friday morning when a subway station lost power and threw the whole system into turmoil, causing delays. As of now the cause of the power lose is still unknown.
As the day wore on the West Coast had power problems of their own. In the morning, Los Angeles International Airport and other areas of the city reported power loss.
But it was San Francisco that was hit the hardest with 90,000 people and businesses in the financial district affected.
The power cut did not affect San Francisco International Airport, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said through a spokesperson that the agency had not received any reports indicating that the outage was related to any security or terrorism incident.

Massive Power Outage Hits San Francisco, Outages Also In LA, Power Outage Affects NYC Subway…
Via SF Gate:
A massive power outage in San Francisco caused a blackout Friday morning in neighborhoods across the city, from the Financial District to the Presidio, forcing the closure of businesses, a BART station and a federal courthouse, officials said.
A spokesman for Pacific Gas and Electric Co. said at least 90,000 customers lost power and that there had been a fire at a substation on Larkin Street. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the fire caused the outage, which swept through the city after 9 a.m., or was ignited as a result of the outage.
The San Francisco Fire Department was responding to numerous calls for service, including people stuck in elevators, but reported no injuries as of 10 a.m. Everywhere, sirens blared as engines maneuvered along jammed streets.

Power Outage in New York Friday
The first outage occurred at around 7:20 a.m. in New York, when the power went down at the 7th Avenue and 53rd Street subway station, which sent a shockwave of significant delays out from the hub and into the rest of the subway system. By 11:30 a.m. the city’s MTA confirmed that generators were running again in the station, although the New York subways were set to run delayed into the afternoon.
The MTA and Con Ed are still working to determine the cause of the outage.
