Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) said about 16,000 customers were still without electricity as crews worked to repair extensive damage from a fire at a downtown substation near 8th and Mission streets. The outage, which peaked Saturday afternoon and affected about one-third of the city, disrupted transit, shuttered shops, and forced Waymo to suspend its driverless ride service after some vehicles stalled on roadways, causing traffic jams. PG&E said the cause remains under investigation and gave no firm timeline for full restoration. | US Pursues Third Vessel Linked to Venezuela The U.S. Coast Guard was in pursuit of an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela on Sunday, marking what would be the second sanctioned tanker linked to Venezuela intercepted by the U.S. over the weekend, and the third in less than two weeks. The interception comes after President Trump announced a blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers leaving or departing Venezuela, as well as more than two dozen military strikes on vessels near the South American nation. British and U.S. maritime groups identified the sanctioned vessel as Bella 1, with one U.S. official adding that it was "flying a false flag and under a judicial seizure order." The vessel was sanctioned under counterterrorism authority for its involvement in the network of Houthi financial facilitator Sa'id al-Jamal, according reports. | Busiest Holiday Travel Season Ever Predicted This year’s holiday season is expected to be the busiest year-end travel period in history, according to the AAA motor club, with 122.4 million projected to travel at least 50 miles from home.

Analysts said that this past weekend saw peak holiday travel on the roadways, while American Airlines expects Saturday, Dec. 27, to be its busiest air travel day. Three Florida cities lead all U.S. holiday destinations, according to projections, with Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami atop the list. Love reading The Flyover?

In 2008, the S&P 500 plummeted by more than 38%, wiping out trillions of dollars in retirement savings overnight.
