Power Black out

Just had a power black out when I was testing something in FS2.
Only had to wait 15minutes before it came back on.
Yet why would it go out at 11am in the morning anyway, there are no storms around. o.O
I'm guessing there might have been a jumper at the train station or something. =/

Its especially rare for us, because we're on the hospital grid, so they try and avoid things like that.

They may have had to do maintenance or something...

Maybe I doubt it though. If it was maintenance I would of expected it to last longer than it did, and perhaps a warning.
More than likely it was a blown transformer or something.

I had a 5 day blackout one Christmas/New Years, after heavy storms. The power company brought in outside contractors from England to restore the grid (the whole country had outages), and the daft buggers completely missed our part of the power system. The pub up0 the road got a loan of a portable generator, yet a nearby old fowks hospital didn't. Priorities, eh?

Lol figures. But I guess most of the old folks from the hospital would try and make it to the pub anyway.
I would anyway.
