Depends on where you are in the SF Bay Area. The hills in the region often have week long outages every year. I always know when the power goes out because the valley in front of my house hums with the sound of generators.

Wide scale are the operative words...
I mean, 10s of thousands of people isn’t wide scale? Weeks of teams of PG&E workers trying to restore power isn’t wide scale? What is the threshold here?
Case and point, view the pge outage map right now.
