Much of Jamaica Plain loses power

Update, 10:50 a.m. Eversource says it's restored almost all the power, except to 10 customers.

Around 9 p.m., the lights began blinking out in Jamaica Plain. As of 9:35, Eversource is reporting 4,438 homes and businesses in Boston without power, most of them in JP, and most of those clustered in the area between Jamaica Pond, the Arboretum and Franklin Park, about as far north as Parley Avenue and Green Street.

Eversource estimates restoration times between 11 p.m. and 12:30 a.m.

Jamaica Plain last had a major blackout on June 16.

Anyone have any idea what caused it? There wasn't any wind and a big chunk of JP went out so I'm guessing it wasn't a downed lined.

Down the J way and he saw the street lights flickering and then went black. He claims to have caused it.
