You just thought you were going to cool off today but PGE's power station had different ideas. The explosions from this Beaverton sub-station rocked the neighborhoods around it and brought sight-seers from all parts of the city. Even parking was at a premium as hundreds were drawn to see this afternoon event. Power was returned to the area at around 5:52 p.m.
