South of Brookwood this morning around 7:30am there was a big flash of white light and then the power went out to the southwest corner of town. But I haven't heard anything about the cause of the outage as of yet, but something defiantly happened that wasn't suppose to.

I drive past those lines south of Brookwood every day and when I passed them today they were whipping in the wind big time. I would suspect that that much force on the lines would have been at least partly the cause

There is an alert for power outages on The Weather Network homepage.

A good write up by the Sun that puts some context to the recent outages... Both the deliberate outage that effected some in the West End and outage that effected the mall. Basically trying to minimize surprise outages and damage from weather conditions:
