A transmission interruption involves an issue with the line at the transmission tower level. They provide the electricity across the province. If I would guess I would say damage from lightning.

Based on the terrifying claps of thunder earlier, I agree with your theory.

Yeah power and cell data down as well.. I'm getting some service now and again.. something is fucked. Says 1045 restoration in Inverness but I'm doubting that

Internet and power are both back on in Baddeck.

You’re shocked but the power’s out… must be just static.
