Yesterday, I was outside and I heard all sorts of sirens heading to the west end. Pulse point was listing many problems. A car accident, an explosion, various reports of wires down. They were all related problems. Apparently a car ran into a hydro pole this disconnected a 46,000V cable causing an arc that may have seemed like an explosion and then of course the wires were down. Because of this about 12,000 people were out of power for about 4 hours.
Tomorrow there is a weather warning for storms rolling through so will have to check in the morning so figure out what to wear!
