Transformer blew in DuBois Sunday night, leaving some without power

DuBois, PA – Hundreds of people were without electricity for at least part of the night Sunday night after a transformer malfunctioned in DuBois.

It happened on DuBois Street, near the VFW and Ace Fix-It Hardware.

Although residents in that area of DuBois were without power until around 1 a.m., people in other sections of DuBois said their lights only flickered momentarily.

Many DuBois residents reported seeing a bright flash from the blown transformer that lit up the night sky, and several posted video of it online.
