Does anyone know what the alert was for? It was not a test.
I am going to take a guess. There was an explosion in a manhole near the cartpath on 466 about five yesterday evening. Immediately it triggered MANY emergency vehicles to our neighborhood. We were later told a transformer blew. We were without electricity for about an hour, and the traffic lights were out for awhile on 466 from Buena Vista to Rolling Acres. But that was last evening.

You live near there? Just a guess.
