This is shaping up to be a really sad story...

Lots of startup employees sent home today (myself included) because most of downtown PA is without power.

Non-startups still working?

yes, moving at only a slightly slower pace then when they have power.

The Caltrain station was insane. I got off one train and then just turned around and got on another.

Red Rock in Mountain View is the most crowded I've ever seen it. Employee had to tell us to get off the floor of the hallway due to fire hazard.

For a long time too... I know at least the California Ave area of PA will be out until 6pm. I saw on Twitter that the Stanford Hospital didn't have power for some amount of time this morning too, but they must be on backup generators by now.

Very sad about the death of Tesla employees. At the same time, it is very scary that large sections of a city could be rendered powerless because of one downed power line.

Yeah, we need a much smarter AND more robust power grid.
