How long was the area without power? We live near Meadows School. We were out of town at the time. Our clocks, etc. were flashing when we got home.

Power

Hopefully someone has a more specific time but best second hand info I have is It went down a little before 11:30. Hydro had been saying they expected to have it back on by 3 but not sure how close to before or after that it ended up being.

Not sure when the power went out but my power came back on around 1:52 pm and I live right behind Meadows School.
