Big #darkTO outage in the east end of the city (not me). Some very cool photos of the vast swathes of darkness in this reddit thread:

Two candles. One oil lamp.
I'm always ready for a blackout.
BTW scented candles are pretty useless for light.

Woke up about a minute after 6am to the beeping sound of emergency lighting & UPS load-carrying covering a brief power outage:

Yeah, I’d give a million bucks for some of these in Toronto right now, we need backup to bridge all the times when the system is under strain or transformers blow #DarkTO #topoli

Toronto hydro outage map showing weird lightsaber like area has no power
Tweet by Warren Cass @babygotcass Power out at First Canadian Place, Metro Hall in Toronto. @TorontoHydro @HydroOne what's up? Are the squirrels ok? 2:48 PM • 2025-04-09 • 287 Views
Tweet by @HydroOne We're aware of the outage affecting the electricity supply to @TorontoHydro and their customers. Crews are on-site at John Transmission Station and we're working together to restore power as safely and quickly as possible. 3:03 PM • 2025-04-09 • 307 Views
Ok so downtown Toronto and Liberty Village have a power outage apparently? But no news posted, anywhere.
@thestar.com ?? #darkto #topoli Ontario Hydro says they are working on the John st power station.
Anyone know anything else?

There's a power outage in my neighborhood, so I go to check what Toronto Hydro is saying. Of course they're not posting here--they're still on Twitter, in the year of our lord 2025. Getting a hold of local emergency info should not be this hard lmao #darkTO

I’m really appreciating that so many news organizations and journalists are here on Bluesky. I’m hoping the micro “news” eventually shows up too: reports about what’s happening in people’s own neighbourhoods. Victory would be #darkTO tracking Toronto power failures the way it did in the other place.
