PRINCE GEORGE- A massive power outage left the city in darkness around 9 this evening.

BC Hydro says approximately 124,000 customers were without power and suspect lightning may be the cause.

The outage is also affecting Vanderhoof, Smithers, Fort St John, Dawson Creek, Chetwynd, Hudsons Hope, Houston and Burns Lake.

Power has been restored to parts of the city and crews are beginning restoration efforts across the region, working to restore all customers in the next few hours.
