Island wide blackout. Major power outage, Aug. 15, 2017

Is anyone else’s power out now? Any idea what is going on? I got out of the elevator when the backup generator kicked in.

Power out here in Beitou. My wife is near Taipei Main Statio. And she is stuck on 26th floor

o.O

Heard it might be the whole island

I’m near Zhongshan MRT and still got power.

It’s only a matter of time?

Just heard, it is the entire island.

Everything is fine in Hsinchu.

No problemas en Zhonghe.

Aside from it being a shit hole, I mean.

Now I heard from two people in completely different areas of Yilan they have no power, so the whole region may be in the dark.
