Our streetlights went out

January 23, 2026 7:48pm CST
Our streetlights went out about two hours ago and haven't come back on Yet in the next street then lights are still on. In all the years I have lived here the lights in this street have never gone out. It's really spooky, it's very quiet Have your street lights ever gone out before? Were other streets lights still on? Let's hope the street lights come back on soon.

@Ineeddentures It is strange how one block loses lights and a block away has lights.

@velvet53 I know. You would think if one lot went out that they would all go out. That's the way it used to be

Yes here they do go off most of the times it's always an uncomfortable situation especially if you still outside. I hope it comes back soon

The lights in my neighborhood went out for about three hours last year due to weather conditions. It was during the afternoon though. I hope that you get electricity soon.

Only the one time we had a power cut. A couple of months back we had our street lamps replaced. Hopefully, they'll last a bit longer

@Ronrybs Plenty money down there for councils to do stuff like that.

I think our street lights must be circa 1980.

Yes, they went out almost every other day a few years back. But now the situation is changed. Now they are on every night. For last ten years our electric department has become much responsible.

@Ineeddentures Mine is not a city. It's a town, a small town.

We don't have street lights in my area. Some do pay extra on their electric bill to have them at their house. I like the darkness

I do quite like the darkness, or I did when we lived in the country but not so sure about it on the town

I don't think our streetlights have ever gone out but we've only been here 5 years. In the country we didn't have street lights.

5 years of street lights not going out is quite good Judy

We don't have street lights on our street. It's a semi rural area. I have a standby generator that comes on when the power goes out. Do you have power again?

We never lost power on the house. It was the streetlights outside that went out
