Some folks in Columbia Heights are reporting that their power has been out since last night. DCist first got word of the outage at around 10 p.m. Monday night, which occurred thanks to a smoking manhole at 1328 Park Rd NW. The affected areas are along parts of Park Road between 11th and 13th Streets NW, 13th Street between Kenyon and Park, and Monroe between 13th and 11th. Others in the same area, however, have reported no problems. Pepco's outage map shows that over 400 customers continue to be without power this morning, with an estimated repair time currently listed at 3 p.m.

FYI, no it is not common for a midsize city to experiencce a dozen or so major transformer fires or explosions per year. DC Public Service Commission?
Make that Monroe Street between 16th - 14th, too. Our power went out around 9:30 last night, came back on about 8 this morning, but continues to go off for five minute intervals from time to time.
Maybe someone shot the tranformer instead of a person?
I shot the sheriff. But I did not shoot the deputy.
Transformers, more than meets the eye.
Ah, and now I know why Columbia Heights Coffee was closed this morning. Thank you.
