San Diego Gas and Electric is saying on Twitter that "all" of their
customers are without power. Possibly through Friday. The website just
has a block of text that says:

"There’s a major power outage in the region. SDG&E crews are working as
quickly and safely as possible. We don’t have an estimated restoration
time. The power could be out through the night and into tomorrow. The
outage has affected street lights. Please drive safely and treat the
street lights as a four-way stop. If you have a personal family
emergency plan, please activate it now."
