Power has been restored to nearly 2000 East Sooke residents after a power outage caused by blasting Wednesday afternoon.

BC Hydro customers west of Rocky Point Road and east of West Coast Road were left in the dark for an hour an a half due to blasting in the area, which caused a power pole to move and faulted the circuit.

Crews restored power to residents around 2:30 p.m. on Jan. 20.
