Washington (CNN)Widespread power outages hit across Washington, D.C. on
Tuesday, affecting government and privately-owned buildings and the city's
public transit rail system intermittently early in the afternoon.
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.
The outage struck everything from the White House to the State Department,
where government employees and reporters saw lights and power flicker out.
Power at CNN's D.C. bureau twice flickered off and on early in the afternoon.
