  • PG&E customers still waiting on December outage payments amid more San Francisco outages this week

    [ad_1]

    SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Nearly a month after San Francisco’s massive multi-day December power outage, many PG&E customers are still waiting to hear from the utility company about their damage claims.

    This comes as many of those same customers are dealing with two more planned outages this week, to make final repairs to the damage done by the December outage.

    In December, PG&E said it was sitting aside $50 million to compensate affected residents and business owners, however, many we talked to on Monday say they have still not heard anything from the utility company.

    The utility says the repair work would happen in two waves.

    The first shutoff happened overnight Monday, and affected about 3,600 customers in the Civic Center area. The utility said it could have lasted up to 12 hours, but power was restored by 8 a.m.

    The second outage in the Richmond & Sunset Districts is scheduled at midnight Tuesday, and will affect 14,000 people. That shutoff is expected to last two hours.

    PG&E Map of the approximate outage area for a planned outage in the Richmond & Sunset Districts on Tuesday January 20, 2026.

    PG&E

    The planned outages are creating more pain for local businesses in those areas.

    The owner of Vietnam restaurant, Lam Hoa Thuan, on Irving Street, which also serves Chinese and Cantonese food, says in his 36 years in business, 26 in this location, his recent December loss was one of the most memorable.

    Lam said his business lost more than $10,000 worth in food after the 40-hour PG&E power outage in December. He said he just threw the food away.

    Restaurants up and down Irving Street experienced the same thing in December. The timing catastrophic as many were preparing massive food orders for the winter solstice celebrations.

    This time, they’re ready.

    “I think it’s okay because it’s only 2-3 hours,” said Patty Lam, waitress at Lam Hoa Thuan.

    Down the street, William Liu is the owner of Tuna House. He intentionally kept inventory thin on Monday.

    “Tomorrow morning, I (will) come back to check make sure everything is right,” he said.

    Like his neighbor, Lam, Liu also estimates his business lost $10,000 in December.

    “I submit the claim already and also they send me back the claim number,” Liu said.

    By phone, Irving Seafood Market’s manager also told ABC7 News she submitted a claim to PG&E and is now waiting.

    It’s unclear what, if any reimbursement, these businesses will receive or when. They’re just glad they won’t be caught in the dark again.

    In the Civic Center areas on Sunday, ABC7’s Cornell Barnard talked with two restaurants who were forced to close Monday because of the planned outage.

    “At least they gave us a heads up this time,” said Gaby Gomez manager of Sam’s Restaurant.

    Gomez said she has no choice but to close Sam’s and its sister cafe, Haru on Monday.

    “It’s a day of sales we’re losing, but at the same time, I don’t want to take the risk of what happened last time when we were in the middle of operations and power shut off and we had to throw away product. Better safe than sorry,” Gomez said.

    Gaby said back in December, the power was out around the Civic Center for three days.

    PG&E said the outages will allow them to finish repairs and testing of the equipment at its Mission substation, where a fire on Dec. 20 resulted in a third of the city losing power for up to 72 hours. Since the outage, PG&E has been using temporary generators to keep customers in service.

    In a statement, PG&E said in part: “When we return to normal operations, we expect this will help avoid some of the brief outages that customers have experienced over the last couple of weeks… we know these outages have been frustrating.”

    Some traffic lights may not be operating on Tuesday morning. The city reminds drivers to treat them as a four-way stops.

  • East Bay minors arrested for kidnapping, carjacking, attempted homicide

    [ad_1]

    (KRON) — Two minors face charges of attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping and carjacking following a crime spree that led authorities on a chase from Oakley to Orinda.

    Officers with the Oakley Police Department were called to the area of Cypress Road and Frank Hengel Way for possible kidnapping and shooting at 1:08 a.m. Monday. Arriving at the scene, officers found multiple underage people, including an injured young man whose head was grazed by a bullet.

    “A group of three Oakley residents (two young adults, a male and a female, and one juvenile female) picked up two other males, who are also juveniles from Oakley,” the Oakley Police Department said. “Collectively, the five people began hanging out at Cypress Grove Park in the vehicle of one of the females. The two male juveniles, who were picked up, became angered when the other three would not take them to buy marijuana. At one point the male who had taken part in picking up the two other males got out of the vehicle.”

    Largest solar radiation storm in more than 20 years hits Earth; aurora borealis possible in NorCal

    When the young man got out of the car, the two juveniles who allegedly wanted to purchase marijuana forced the young female to drive away at gunpoint, Oakley PD said. When she refused to drive any farther, the pair allegedly forced her out of the car at gunpoint.

    As the two suspects drove away, the young man who got out of the car ran towards the car and caught up with the suspects at the intersection of Frank Hengel Way and Cypress Road, police said. That’s when one of the suspects opened fire.

    “One of the male suspects shot at the male victim through the windshield of the female victim’s vehicle several times and struck the male victim in the head with the grazing shot,” Oakley PD said.

    The suspects sped away from the scene of the shooting and were spotted by a Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office deputy on the westbound side of Highway 4. The deputy attempted to stop the suspects, who led authorities on a chase, which ended in Orinda.

    “The pursuit terminated when the pursued vehicle became disabled on westbound Highway 24,” Oakley PD said.

    Both suspects were arrested and booked into juvenile hall for outstanding arrest warrants and a new list of charges, including attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping and carjacking.

    The young man who was shot was taken to a local hospital and treated for his injuries. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Oakley police.

  • Fire breaks out at downtown Oakland apartment building; firefighter injured

    [ad_1]

    A three-alarm fire broke out at a multi-story apartment building in downtown Oakland Monday morning, officials said.

    The Oakland Fire Department were called to a five-story building at the corner of 19th and Broadway, near the 19th Street BART station, around 7 a.m.

    Dispatchers received multiple calls from residents, including from a woman who told CBS News Bay Area that she was trapped.

    “Opened my front door and it was just, the hallway which was black and full of smoke. I was like well, that’s not good,” said the resident, who did not want to be identified. “So, I had to call 911 and tell them unit I was in.” 

    About 50 firefighters responded to the scene.

    “Five story building, heavy fire on every floor of the building. Upon arrival, we had heavy smoke and flames,” said Fire Chief Damon Covington. “Battalion Two and Engine One and the crews did an excellent job of getting the building evacuated.”

    Three people were treated for smoke inhalation and were taken to the hospital, firefighters said, while one firefighter suffered a minor injury.

    “I’m glad I’m alright. I’m glad most of my neighbors are OK. I did see one of my neighbors get pulled away in an ambulance with an oxygen mask on, I hope he’s alright. Glad no one is dead as far as I’m aware,” the resident went on to say.  

    The building also houses several ground floor businesses, including Dope Era, a clothing store owned by Oakland rapper Mistah F.A.B. While the flames did not reach the shop, employees were seen cleaning up after the store sustained heavy water damage.

    Firefighters said the incident was placed under control around 8:40 a.m. 

    The cause of the fire was not immediately known.

  • Winners, losers as Indiana tops Miami 27-21 to win first CFP championship

    [ad_1]

    The 2026 College Football Playoff National Championship is headed to Indiana.

    Top-seeded Indiana won its first ever football championship on Monday, outlasting the No. 10 Miami Hurricanes 27-21 in a game that started murky but ended in a thriller.

    Things started relatively slow for both sides, as Indiana took just a 10-0 lead into halftime with Miami’s offense getting nothing going on the ground or over the top.

    But, as usual in low-scoring college first halves, the script flipped in the final two quarters. Miami woke up to put the pressure on the Hoosiers, but Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza stepped up and Hurricanes QB1 Carson Beck couldn’t.

    Beck had the chance to deliver a game-winning drive, but forced a deep pass that was picked off. Indiana held on 27-21, winning the program’s first ever football title in its debut appearance while Miami’s wait since 2001 persists, despite being at home in Hard Rock Stadium.

    Let’s analyze the game further with winners and losers as Indiana ends the season unbeaten at 16-0:

    WINNER: Fernando Mendoza, Indiana

    The Heisman winner and potential No. 1 pick had all the eyes on him tonight. It wasn’t a perfect performance, but he displayed the grit and poise needed at the next level.

    Mendoza threw for 186 yards on 16 of 27 completions, while also rushing for the key 12-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

    He’ll still need to polish his game more to truly thrive in the NFL, especially if the Las Vegas Raiders believe he’s the QB1 that can elevate their trajectory. But for now, he can bask in the moment.

    LOSER: Carson Beck, Miami

    On the other hand, it was a slightly different story for Miami’s QB1. Carson Beck, 23, could’ve had his moment to change the narrative on his college career — and boost his potential draft odds in the process.

    He overcame a slow start and displayed much better command in the second half, finishing with 232 passing yards and a touchdown on 19 of 32 completions. But the lone pick might just summarize his five-year collegiate run best — a competitive college option but not at the level required to win the majors.

    WINNER: Mark Fletcher Jr., Miami

    Most eyes were on Mendoza’s legitimacy to go No. 1, but Miami had an opportunity to show off some of its skill players as well.

    Malachi Toney, a rising 18-year-old wideout, seized his moments and will be one to watch for the future. Junior running back Mark Fletcher Jr. also stood out, and he could even be NFL ready if he declared.

    Fletcher Jr. reflected Miami’s stagnant offense in the first half but helped open it up in the second, ending the game with 112 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries. He enjoyed a career-best 57-yard run, also the second-longest touchdown in a BCS final.

    LOSER: Third-down efficiency

    Indiana’s defense ranked among the top in several defensive statistics this season, and getting off the field on third downs was a major reason why.

    The Hoosiers at one point limited Miami to being 0-for-6 on third downs. Miami finished with a 3-for-11 rate, while Indiana went 6-for-15. Miami’s defense delivered an underrated performance, but Mendoza helped chip at the margins where Beck couldn’t.

    Had the Hurricanes improved their rate in the first half, apart from the doinked field-goal try, this could’ve been a different ball game.

    WINNER: Curt Cignetti, Indiana

    In an era where there’s a power vacuum at the college football summit, Indiana might have something brewing. The Hoosiers are far from a football powerhouse, but they’ve flipped from being terrible to national champs in two years under Curt Cignetti.

    The 64-year-old is revered by his players and has built a sturdy culture beyond Mendoza, with more youngsters hoping to develop through the program now.

    If the Hoosiers can capitalize off this success, they can be a dominant figure for years to come. It’ll start with getting their next QB1 right, though.

    CNBC senior sports reporter Michael Ozanian explains why the University of Texas’ athletic program is valued at $1.48 billion.

  • Gang of Deplorable Teens Beats and Robs Man at Fisherman’s Wharf

    [ad_1]

    Teen trouble down by the SF Maritime Museum on Saturday, as a group of teens ganged up on and walloped a man who admonished them to slow down on their bicycles, and then they tried to rob him, but bystanders shooed the teens away.

    A situation with unruly teens on their bicycles turned scary on Saturday afternoon, as KTVU reports that a group of minors beat and robbed a man on the 900 block of Beach Street in Fisherman’s Wharf, near the SF Maritime National Historical Park. The attack reportedly occurred at around 2:50 pm Saturday, and was initiated, of all reasons, because the man apparently told the teens to slow down on their bicycles.

    “A preliminary investigation revealed that the victim observed multiple juveniles on bicycles and attempted to advise them to slow down,” the SFPD said in a statement to KTVU. “One suspect then battered the victim, which led to a verbal confrontation between the victim and juveniles. The verbal confrontation turned physical as the suspects began to batter the victim who attempted to flee.”

    Somehow, the victim was already receiving medical attention from paramedics by the time police arrived on the scene. There is no update on the victim’s current condition, nor whether any of the injuries from the assault were serious.

    The teens did steal a bag from the victim, which he attempted to retrieve after it was tossed onto the street. If it reaffirms your faith in humanity in any way, police say the teens all fled the scene “after being confronted by bystanders.”

    Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call the SFPD tip line at 415-575-4444, or text a tip to TIP411 and begin the message with “SFPD.” Tipsters can remain anonymous.

  • Events across Bay Area celebrate MLK Day through service, action

    [ad_1]

    One of the best ways to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Monday morning is by boarding Caltrain’s MLK Celebration Train.

    The train takes off from San Jose just after 9 a.m. Monday and travels to San Francisco, dropping off passengers in time to join the MLK march.

    People can join the train in Palo Alto, San Mateo and Millbrae. There are activities and giveaways on board for kids.

    The ride is also free for all.

    The MLK observations began Sunday in San Francisco at Fort Mason, where dozens of volunteers of all ages joined to spruce things up a bit.

    It’s a part of a weekend of service projects the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy is doing for MLK Day.

  • Protesters in SF demand regime change in Iran while honoring the thousands of lives lost

    [ad_1]

    SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Protesters from across the Bay Area gathered Sunday afternoon in front of San Francisco’s Ferry Building, demanding regime change in Iran after thousands of protesters have been reportedly killed over the past several weeks of uprising.

    The protest was followed by an evening vigil at Washington Square Park in honor of the lives lost.

    ABC7 News Reporter Tara Campbell spoke with organizers and people whose family members are caught in the uprising.

    “There’s a lot of anger right now. And Iranians, and our hearts and our minds, and we don’t know how to channel that, and I thought that this would be a good container for that,” said Sam, vigil organizer.

    The Human Rights Activists New Agency reported on Sunday that it has verified more than 3,700 deaths and fears the number could be much higher. The agency is also reporting that more than 24,000 protesters have been arrested amid the Iranian regime’s crackdown.

  • PG&E to test equipment damaged in December fire during planned Civic Center outage

    [ad_1]

    Less than a month after a monumental PG&E outage, it will be lights out again for those most impacted. 

    PG&E announced a planned outage scheduled to start just after midnight on Monday. 

    During that time, PG&E will complete its final tests of the Mission Substation equipment that was damaged in the fire on Dec. 20.

    The outage in December impacted approximately 130,000 San Francisco customers, some for several days, including Jimmy Fitzpatrick. 

    “We’re just assuming worst-case scenario,” said Fitzpatrick. 

    Fitzpatrick lives in the NEMA building near Market and 10th streets, not far from the Mission Substation. 

    During the outage, he lost all his food, couldn’t flush the toilet, or use the elevator, and he lives on the 25th floor.

    “I was shocked,” Fitzpatrick explained. “The building was completely unprepared for anything like this.”

    Now, he’s bracing for another outage.

    PG&E has notified people in the Civic Center area that there is a scheduled outage starting shortly after midnight on Monday. The electric company says it will last up to 12 hours, but Fitzpatrick is prepared for more.

    “Twenty-four hours, probably,” said Fitzpatrick when asked how long he thinks it will last. 

    His neighbor, Fiona Wu, is frustrated by the whole situation.

    “I actually filed a claim to PG&E for all the spoiled food, and they kind of refused to compensate for it,” said Wu. “And also my $200 credit was not reflected on my account and I had to reach out to them, like what’s going on?”

    She did eventually get the credit, which PG&E said would automatically be given to all impacted residential customers to offset the inconvenience and disruption caused by the outage.

    PG&E says this planned outage should help prevent surprise outages in the future.

    “When we return to normal operations, we expect this will help avoid some of the brief outages that customers in the Richmond District/Golden Gate Park area have experienced over the last couple of weeks,” said PG&E in a statement sent out to the media. “We know these outages have been frustrating for our customers, and we’ve been working tirelessly during this time to inspect equipment and develop plans to provide the reliability that our customers expect and deserve.” 

    For now, Fitzpatrick is just doing what he can, including charging up his battery pack and stocking up on water.

    He says there is a silver lining, and that’s the opportunity to connect without distractions.

    “It felt nice to look up for our phones and look at people,” said Fitzpatrick. “Just remember that we can count on people that we live near for basic supplies.”

    There will be a second outage. PG&E says that one will occur shortly after midnight Tuesday, affecting approximately 14,000 San Francisco customers in the Richmond District area. 

    It is scheduled to be much shorter, lasting up to two hours.   

    Once the return to normal operations is complete, PG&E will remove the temporary generators located at 24th and Balboa.

  • TWICE overcomes injury in electrifying return to Oakland Arena

    [ad_1]

    OAKLAND, Calif. (KRON) — The last time TWICE was in the Bay Area was almost three years ago when they sold out back-to-back Oakland Arena shows. A lot has happened for the iconic K-pop girl group.

    If it were even possible, Twice has reached new heights since — accomplishing things like first-ever K-pop girl group to headline Lollapalooza, celebrating a milestone 10-year anniversary and going viral after making history in last fall’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

    Now back at the venue they owned in June 2023, Twice returned to Oakland Arena to show out for thousands of “ONCE,” the group’s official fanbase name. In its sixth world tour, “This Is For,” Twice cranked it up a notch and went with the ambitious 360-degree stage — atypical of most concerts at the indoor arena.

    However, to add to the complexities of the intricate stage setup, Dahyun suffered an ankle injury earlier in the week in Seattle. That forced the group’s songwriter and rapper to sit on a stool (see below) as the eight others executed their ever-so precise choreography.

    That didn’t seem to affect the love “Once” has for Jihyo, Nayeon, Tzuyu, Sana, Momo, Mina, Dahyun, Jeongyeon and Chaeyoung. The concert opened with “This Is Four” as the screams and cheers commenced for the nearly two-and-a-half-hour show.

    The opener was followed up by “Strategy” — a song you probably heard if you watched “K-Pop Demon Hunters.” The especially loud roars continued in the latter half of the show when the other Twice song from the hit 2025 Netflix film, “Takedown,” in which Jihyo, Jeongyeon and Chaeyoung took center stage.

    “Oakland’s energy is absolutely fire tonight,” Jeongyeon said through a translator.

    Dahyun (far right) was forced to sit on a stool for most of the night during TWICE’s Saturday show at Oakland Arena on Jan. 17, 2026.

    View of the 360-degree stage — a jump from TWICE’s previous two tour stops at Oakland Arena in 2022 and 2023.

    The 360-stage featured complex props like these boxes that were digital screens to help enhance the production.

    How Oakland Arena became the Bay Area’s unofficial home for K-pop

    After performing songs from their 2025 full-length album, “This Is For,” such as “Mars” and “Options,” each of the nine members performed a solo song from “TEN: The Story Goes On.”

    The energy inside Oakland Arena was supplemented by a live band. Even Dahyun, with a bum ankle, shone during her solo “Chess” as she showed off her skills playing the piano.

    Large mobile cube LED screens enriched the production value. The large visuals on the centered stage gave fans all kinds of views of their beloved group. The stage would, at times, elevate and give upper-level-seated fans a better look.

    Of course, Twice can’t leave fans without performing the classics: “Fancy,” “What Is Love?” “Yes or Yes” and “Dance The Night Away.” Those hits brought many fans back in time as thousands sang their hearts out.

    Twice asked the crowd what it should end the night with. Screams of “Feel Special” were heard among the crowd. Fans got what they wanted and ended the night in “The Feels.”

    The girl group returns to Oakland Arena on Sunday night to close their slate of back-to-back Bay Area shows. Twice then heads to Los Angeles for a Jan. 22 concert at the Kia Forum.

  • Overturned big rig backs up Highway 101 traffic in Redwood City

    [ad_1]

    (KRON) —  An overturned big rig is blocking two lanes of traffic on the northbound side of Highway 101 in Redwood City.

    The crash happened at 10:35 a.m. near Marsh Road, according to the California Highway Patrol. There is no estimated time for when the highway will fully reopen in the area.

  • San Francisco kicks off Lunar New Year celebrations, supporting small businesses

    [ad_1]

    SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Lunar New Year celebrations kicked off on San Francisco’s Commercial Street Saturday with the launch of new market supporting Chinatown businesses.

    “After the pandemic this block, in particular, what we call Commercial Street has been half dead. We see more than 50 percent of vacancies in this block,” said Francis Christian Chan, with San Francisco’s Office of Economic & Workforce Development.

    “We think this community event will bring more new customers, existing customers back to this corridor, and enjoy the life in here.”

    Commercial street offers a connection between two popular neighborhoods.

    “We actually connect Chinatown and the financial district together, and so you see customers from both sides would like to enjoy the event,” said Chan, noting all the vendors at the market own businesses in Chinatown.

    “I’m own a supermarket in Chinatown, so we have a lot of the Chinese food, that’s why today I bring a lot of Chinese food to here,” said Mill Lei, a local supermarket owner. “I hope we can bring the lucky and happiness to everyone.”

    The market will be on Commercial Street every Friday and Saturday until early March with the Chinese New Year parade capping it off.

    Green Day, one of the most successful acts in Bay Area music history, is getting in on the Super Bowl Sunday fun.

    The East Bay pop-rock band, which formed in Rodeo in 1987, will perform an opening ceremony set just moments prior to the big game taking place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara on Feb. 8.

    The performance by Green Day — the multiplatinum trio consisting of vocalist-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tré Cool — celebrates the Super Bowl’s 60th anniversary and will be used as the soundtrack to usher generations of Super Bowl MVPs onto the field.

    “We are super hyped to open Super Bowl 60 right in our backyard!” Armstrong said in a press release. “We are honored to welcome the MVPs who’ve shaped the game and open the night for fans all over the world. Let’s have fun! Let’s get loud!”

  • 3 killed in wrong-way crash on I-80

    [ad_1]

    (KRON) — Three people were killed in a two-vehicle crash on the westbound side of Interstate 80 in the Fairfield area early Sunday morning.

    The crash happened around 2:01 a.m. when a white Dodge Charger collided with a black Land Rover Discovery east of the Cordelia Weigh Station. One of the cars was driving on the wrong side of the highway at the time of the crash, according to the California Highway Patrol. However, investigators have not determined which car was going in the wrong direction.

    “Witnesses described the wrong-way vehicle as a ‘light-colored sedan,’” CHP said.

    Two men in the Dodge Charger and a woman in the Land Rover all died from injuries suffered in the crash. There were no other people involved in the initial crash.

    A short time later, a second crash happened in the area between a black Tesla and a red Toyota Tacoma. The driver of the Tesla was uninjured. The driver of the Toyota was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.

    “At this time, it is unknown if alcohol or drugs played a factor in the initial wrong-way crash,” CHP said. “However, impairment has been ruled out in the subsequent crash.”

    The crash temporarily blocked all westbound lanes of I-80 and traffic was diverted onto Suisun Valley Road. Authorities have not publicly identified the victims of the crash at this time.

  • Seahawks dominate 49ers from opening kick, advance to NFC title game with 41-6 win

    [ad_1]

    RENTON, Wash. — Rashid Shaheed returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, Kenneth Walker III rushed for three scores and the Seattle Seahawks advanced to the NFC championship game with a dominant 41-6 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night.

    Sam Darnold threw a touchdown pass and got his first career playoff win in his first season with the Seahawks (15-3), who will host either the Chicago Bears or the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday with a trip to the Super Bowl at stake.

    The Seahawks led 7-0 13 seconds into the game thanks to Shaheed, who fielded the opening kick and took it 95 yards to the end zone. It was the fourth kickoff return for a touchdown to open a playoff game since 2000 and the longest postseason kick return in franchise history.

    Darnold, who had been listed as questionable because of an oblique injury, guided the Seahawks on two more scoring drives before San Francisco got on the board with the first of its two field goals.

    After he flopped in his playoff debut last season with the Minnesota Vikings by taking nine sacks in a 27-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Darnold completed 12 of 17 passes for 124 yards and connected with Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a touchdown in the star receiver’s playoff debut.

    The 49ers (13-6) were never competitive in the second-most lopsided playoff loss in franchise history. San Francisco lost 49-3 to the New York Giants in the divisional round in the 1986 season.

    The Niners were missing three injured All-Pros: tight end George Kittle, linebacker Fred Warner and defensive end Nick Bosa.

    San Francisco’s Brock Purdy completed 15 of 27 passes for 140 yards with an interception and a lost fumble against the Seahawks’ “Dark Side” defense. Seattle also recovered a fumble by tight end Jake Tonges.

    Walker’s three rushing touchdowns tied him with Shaun Alexander for the most in a playoff game in franchise history.
