21-Hayes Knocks Out Neighborhood Power [Broken News]

by Andrew Dalton on March 18, 2010

The power’s out! News, you guys! The 21-Hayes pulled down a telephone pole at Hayes and Baker, which shorted out the grid in the neighborhood. The police officer I spoke with said it was a couple block radius, but the power has been out at my place at Masonic and Fulton since 9am. Some spots on Divis lost power for about 20 minutes or so around 10:45am. But it looks like it’s back on just in time for Gavin’s appearance at Mojo’s new parklet.

UPDATE: Eve over at the Appeal kindly summed up my frantic emails of the outage. She’s a real journo and all so head there for all the “official” details.

Some photos of the carnage:
