Massive Power Outage in D.C.
DCist reports that over 10,000 customers are without power and you’re reading the blog of one of them.
If you’re reading this right now, you’re one of the lucky people in D.C. with electricity right now. A power outage at a Pepco substation on 10th Street NW has cut electricity to about 10,000 customers in the middle of the city, and at several Metro stations near downtown. Power is currently out at the Duport Circle, Shaw, Farragut North, Farragut West and McPherson Square stations. Trains are still moving at those stations, but the lack of electricity means that only emergency lights are on there, plus fare card machines, elevators and escalators are not working.
A minor fire broke out at Metro Station, causing major delays on the Red Line. June has not been a good month for the Metro.
