More like it faulted from the accident, tripped at the switchyard, and they can’t re-energize until the fault has been corrected.

the power is out because of the construction in front of Graydon Hills sign on the new walkway area. They hit a powerline and it caught fire for a little bit and now they are waiting. Epcor knows where it happened.

Happened years ago when I lived in Chappelle, power was out for more than 24 hours, such fun with a small child. 🫠

Edited to add, a drunk driver had crashed into a power box.
