Widespread Power Outages Sweep Washington, D.C.



Official: Power-plant blast responsible for DC power outages    

1:39 PM, Apr 7, 2015 









Widespread power outages hit across Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, affecting government and privately-owned buildings intermittently early in the afternoon.


The outage struck everything from the White House to the State Department, where government employees and reporters saw lights and power flicker out.


The power went out during the daily State Department briefing, with Deputy Spokesperson Marie Harf using a phone light to continue taking questions from reporters.


Power remained off for the State Department as of 1:15 p.m., though most other affected buildings appeared to have power restored within seconds of it going out.




The White House, State Department, Justice Department and Capitol were all briefly affected. Power also went out at the University of Maryland and various Smithsonian museums. Several were evacuated.

Metro said 14 of its 91 public transit stations were affected. A spokesman says power to trains remains on, with trains moving system wide.

By officials' counts, at least 28,000 customers in the metro area were affected.
