Power glitch

Did your lights flicker or go out for a few seconds on Sunday night?
Ours did. So did my brother's. Power went out for a second, then came back on. TV and all the electronics shut off. Then it surged again a few seconds later.
Turns out, it was from a car that hit a large transmission line at Brooke and Nordel Way in Delta. What made this noteable, is that we weren't the only ones affected. People across the lower mainland saw it too. All the way to North Vancouver and the Island. It was a main feed line, and the outage was the system crashing, then switching over to another circuit. Twitter showed comments from all over the lower mainland and the Island of people who had the same thing. It was kind of weird.
