So what was the cause of the power outage uptown today?
NB Power spokesperson Meaghan Garrish tells CHSJ News that a peice of equipment at the end of pole at the end of the causeway malfunctioned.
She tells us the power line runs beneath the causeway and up a pole.
When the peice of equipment called a lightning arrester malfunctioned it would have caused a big bang that everyone nearby would have heard.
The power outage lasted about 45 minutes.
