Power outage hits Bay Area
Wednesday, November 04, 2009 | 2 comment(s)
Approximately 3,600 Pacific Power customers were in the dark Tuesday afternoon, after a substation transformer blew a fuse in North Bend.
The outage darkened homes, businesses and traffic lights for about 45 minutes — from 1:30 to about 2:15 p.m. — in both Coos Bay and North Bend, said Pacific Power spokeswoman Jan Mitchell.
Coos Bay and North Bend police departments received several calls regarding malfunctioning traffic lights at 16th Street and Broadway, on California Avenue, and along Ocean Boulevard.
Mitchell said a power crew worked quickly to fix the issue.
“They did some emergency damage repair and got it up and running pretty quickly,” Mitchell said.
