Feb 21 2015 Power Outage

[Relentless]

Massive power outage last night, power was out for an hour and a half and not a word on the news about it.
It was strange as most houses were out, but some street lights were working.
Was your power out in your area?
Anyone here what happened?

^^^ Which part of Central Okanagan are you talking about

Hi UltraViolet. A big part of Springvalley was without power from about 11:45 last night. I tracked it down to an accident at the corner of Graham and Springfield. A car in the middle of the lane going toward downtown, a power pole slanted at 45 degrees over the Rd. Police were laying down markers on Springfield Rd. Graham Rd was blocked off and Springfield was also blocked by police from Gerstmar to Ziprick.

I talked to the Fortis guy who was at the end of Graham and he said by the time we got out of bed in the morning the power would be back on. He didn't know if anyone had been hurt, the car I saw in road didn't seem that badly damaged but might have been on the passenger side I couldn't see that side.

Thanks for the info, but power was out in more than just Springvalley.
