Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I think the only reason it's news is because it hit their financial district. Hadn't heard about issues in NY and LA.

On Friday morning, massive power outages hit San Francisco, New York City, and Los Angeles, as well as other American cities, causing chaos during the morning commutes for, it’s probably safe to say, millions of people.
While massive power outages on the same day certainly looks suspicious, at this time there’s no evidence besides three cities full of angry commuters that suggests that the outages were related in any way.
New York was the first city to lose power on Friday, when the 7th Avenue and 53rd Street subway station lost juice at just before 6 a.m., sending a shockwave of delays throughout the subway system (7th and 53rd is a relatively major stop with multiple train lines connecting in it). By 11:30 a.m. the NYC Metropolitan Transit Authority had the generators back up and running, but trains are expected to still be a delayed hellscape into the afternoon.
In S.F., an enormous part of the city lost power, causing Bay Area Rapid Transit trains to shut down and many businesses to close up shop. The outage began sometime around 9 a.m. in S.F., noon on the East coast, and currently has no end in sight. The entirety of the financial district, SoMa, Richmond, Nob Hill, and PAC heights are all affected.
In L.A., several areas of the city reported power outages, but the main problem appeared to be affecting Los Angeles International Airport, or LAX.

NYC only had a failed piece of railroad equipment. It would be abnormal if a day passed without a failed piece of infrastructure.
