Aerial shot from CP24 helicopter shows workmen at Toronto Hydro Bridgman Transformer Station on Davenport Road as they try to figure out what has happened. Officials have said that there was a loss of supply after a loud explosion hit the station about 10.30 a.m. That was followed by a power failure across a large section of midtown. A positive sign is that engineers say they hope to have the power on again at around 1 p.m. according to a statement tweeted at noon. The outages are in an area bounded by Eglinton, Wellesley, Spadina and Yonge. 8000 customers affected although this figure may be deceiving because it counts customer accounts, not people. Josh Matlow (Ward 22) says he has been in touch with Hydro, see link to his statement. Cam Woolley has reported that there was apparently no fire or visible damage at the Bridgman TS. @HydroOne crews are on site: Toronto Hydro (@TorontoHydro) February 13, 2015 Matlow statement
