    This is cruddy. Sitting in the dark on 25th between cloverdale and Trenton at 7pm. There was a loud boom that went off around 3, and cut all the power. Blown transformer?My southern neighbors and people across the street have power, the people north dont. Not how I wanted to spend my Sat night.

      We just lost our power at 7:25. We’re on the west side of 25 between Thistle and Cloverdale.

    I’ve also been out of power since 2:55 but some of the units in my apartment have had power. At about 7:25 the other units in my apartment went dark as well as some neighboring condos. Updated time on SCL says 12:45am resolution.

      Thanks for the update! Map hasn’t caught up yet – sometimes it lags up to 15+ minutes. We’ll be following up Monday to find out exactly what the “equipment failure” was.

    That explains the bright flash I saw at around 5 or so.
