The power in our office in the town centre went off at about 4.30. What a bang it gave! Loads of other shops in the town centre were out too, and so was my parents, they live near Springpark. My house is in Mt Vernon and it was fine. An explosion at the sub-station caused it, apparently....

There was a problem with the substation in Sir Archibald road, it affected about 1200 people or so the hydro said.

Moisture got into the workings of the substation which caused it to blow, big cloud of black smoke rose from it at the time!

Thats where I was , too, mccaugm! Though, luckily, I was just finished and going out. I did hope on the way home, though, that the power stayed on for everyone else! I'm glad to hear that it did. :)
