Was anyone else affected last night? (13th Nov), the entire town apart from one estate had no power for two hours (in the dark!) I've never seen anything go so dark in my life. The street lights and traffic lights were gone, was deadly :) Only power in the center of town on line was the DART power lines of course, the station was affected though, ticket machines and the station lights turned off, obviously these are ESB powered. Thankfully power came back on after 2 and a half hours though, only light we had was candles, it was actually quite cool...:D

I haven't seen a blackout in years. Last one I remember was when I was living in Maynooth, 6 years ago now, everything was so dark and there was a horrible orange glow coming from Dublin.

We get them quite a lot down in Tipp, usually when there are thunderstorms and the like, but funnily enough we had one on Halloween :eek:
