Breaking News Update: May 2nd, 1:50 PM - The Situation at City Hall
Okay, so things are a little crazy downtown. I'm getting updates from a reporter on the ground near City Hall, and honestly, it’s all a bit chaotic. It's May 2nd, 1:50 PM as I type this, and they're reporting a major power outage. Apparently, it went down around 1:45, so things are still very much in flux.
The initial reports mentioned a possible transformer explosion – it seems to be near the main building, which is understandably causing quite the commotion. There are large crowds gathering, and you know, lots of people are pretty upset because it’s hot out, and air conditioning is obviously out of the question. My colleague just texted me an image – it looks pretty intense.
Emergency crews are on the scene, though I'm hearing conflicting reports about how long it's going to take to fix this mess. Some say a couple of hours, others say it could be longer. It's hard to say for sure. We’ll keep you updated as we get more reliable information. We’re trying to get in touch with the City Hall press office, but phone lines seem to be jammed right now.
Check back soon for more details.
