Power Outage on Flatbush?

Hi!

I frequent a number of Brooklyn blogs and am surprised I haven’t been able to
find any news about this.

I live on Lefferts Ave. and had a friend over last night. We noticed the lights
flickering a lot and, when he went home (to Maple Street), he found out why. He
said that two manhole covers had exploded on Flatbush, there were fire trucks
everywhere, and his building had no power. Turns out a good chunk of Maple Street was left without power until this morning.

I’ve searched everywhere (here, blogs, papers) and haven’t been able to find
anything. Anyone?

Thanks!
