A large power outage impacted San Francisco on Dec 20, 2025
Comment
SEATTLE, Washington
An underground fire and more issues with the grid around Capitol Hill Station knocked out power to at least 450 customers around Broadway and John Friday night.
“Crews are responding to an energy response underway for a vault fire in the 100 block of Harvard Ave. E. Please avoid the area,” Seattle Fire reported about its “energy response” as the incident unfolded around 6:30 PM.
Friday night’s outage follows a disruption to electricity service in the same area Sun night.
A Seattle City Light spokesperson said that outage was due to “a piece of connection equipment that failed in the underground system” and likely not weather related.

Skiers were evacuated from the Chair 1 Big Mountain Express lift at Whitefish Mountain Resort on Friday morning after a mechanical failure, according to resort officials.
The high-speed quad lift that accesses the summit of Big Mountain stopped at about 9:55 a.m. Lift mechanics were unable to fix the issue, and the backup system didn't function, prompting a full evacuation at about 11:30 a.m. All skiers were evacuated by 1:45 p.m.
Resort officials estimate about 150-200 people were on the lift when it stopped. The temperature at the summit was 15 degrees at noon, with a wind chill of 4 degrees.
Hellroaring Basin and Flower Point were closed during the evacuation so all ski patrollers could assist.
"More than 40 employees — including patrollers, mountain ambassadors, ski instructors and staff from the terrain parks and events department — were directly involved in the evacuation process," a message posted the resort's snow report stated. "Four patrollers came in on their day off to assist."
Officials expected the lift to be running again soon.
"Our lift maintenance team has identified the issue and believes it will be quickly resolved once the evacuation is complete," resort spokesperson Chad Sokol told the Inter Lake.
People who were evacuated will receive free lift tickets for future use, Sokol said. Passholders involved were given tickets that can be used by friends or family.
"If any guest involved did not make it to the Base Lodge today, they can still call or visit in the coming days," Sokol said.
Chair 1 is 2,084 feet long and takes skiers from the base area to the summit in about 8 minutes. The current lift was installed in 2007, replacing the former Glacier Chaser lift that is now Chair 2, according to resort information.

MIDDLETON, Massachusetts
Hundreds of inmates at the Middleton House of Correction were evacuated to other buildings after a transformer exploded at the facility on Tuesday, officials said.
The transformer exploded outside an inmate housing unit at about 6:30 p.m. and “resulted in the evacuation of 407 inmates to other buildings within the secure perimeter,” the Essex County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement.
“The evacuation was orderly and secure, and there were no injuries,” officials said.

Summerside, PE - Canada — Officials say a fire at an electric plant in western Prince Edward Island is now out, though the facility remains offline.
Crews responded to the scene at the Summerside Electric Power Plant around 5:50 p.m. Tuesday. The fire was contained by about 6:45 p.m. and officially declared over by 7:30 p.m.
“The plant’s exhaust system ignited as result of the Summerside Electric diesel generators operating at high capacity to meet peak energy loads over the last few days.”
The plant was immediately taken offline due to the fire. The city says there were no injuries, evacuations, or immediate risk to public safety.
A fire crew remained on site overnight as a precaution.

BUFFALO, New York
National Grid says about 3,400 customers are without power in the City of Buffalo. Much of the outage, according to the utility's mapping software, is just east of Main Street in downtown Buffalo.
A National Grid spokesperson tells 7 News, there was likely an underground fault that's causing issues in the city.
"The City of Buffalo has all underground service, so crews have to diagnose the issue, likely caused by fault in underground line," the spokesperson said.
It's unclear what exactly caused the fault.
Power outages stretch from East Utica Street, east of Main street, all the way south to Perry Street.
National Grid expected to have power restored by 10:30 a.m.

Eurostar suspends all Europe trains over power issue during holiday travel
Eurostar has suspended all services connecting the UK to Europe due to power issues in the Channel Tunnel, disrupting holiday travel. Passengers were left stranded as trains from London to Paris, Amsterdam, and Brussels were cancelled.
A Eurostar spokesperson stated, “There was a power supply problem in the Channel Tunnel followed by a shuttle train coming to a halt inside.”
Stranded travelers expressed frustration and disappointment as they sought alternative transport. Many faced challenges finding flights or buses due to high demand and fully booked options. The incident adds to recent criticisms of Eurostar's service quality and pricing.
BREAKING: Massive blackout hits Argentina capital Buenos Aires amid intense heat
Buenos Aires and its surrounding metro area were hit by a massive blackout during an extreme heat wave. At the peak, close to one million users lost power.
Argentina is ending the year under intense, record‑level heat, with an orange alert issued for the capital. Nighttime temperatures were still around 30°C, which pushed electricity demand to the limit.
Early reports point to:
A failure at an Edesur substation, which triggered the widespread outage.
High tension problems due to extreme demand during the heat wave.
The blackout began late Tuesday night and lasted several hours, with the worst point around 4 AM, when more than 920,000 users were without electricity.
Power was restored gradually, and by midday only a few thousand users were still without service.
