Widespread power outages sweep Washington, D.C. (http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/07/politics/power-outage-washington-dc/index.html)


The power outage in the Washington area was caused by a small explosion at a power transfer line in southern Maryland, according to a U.S. official. CNN has been told that The Department of Homeland Security is closely monitoring the ongoing power outage.
