Blown Power Lines Cause Outage in Belmont Park

About 9:30 Thursday night, a resident reports, a bright green flash lit up the neighborhood and a big boom brought all the neighbors out.

"All the street lights went dark, neighbors in Belmont Park lost power," writes Jacqui Viale, a Patch blogger and resident of the area. "The street lights must have gone to emergency power because they came back on pretty quickly."

Repair crews came out Thursday night to repair the severed lines (see photos) and are still working this morning.

Did you lose power and for how long? Tell us in comments, and here's to a calm Friday.
