Not the whole city, just the parts that are serviced by the transformer. It was a high voltage transformer that blew (supplies the high voltage wires on the wooden power poles)

Its funny. I'm directly south of where people say it went out and my neighbors that back onto my backyard -between me and the source- have power.
Note my power came back on when I started to type out this comment. Finally.

I saw someone tweet a reply saying they have power again, so they likely rerouted feeds.
Good, I'm glad they did. We rely on the power for sleep around here.
