Nov. 29 (UPI) — Utility officials in a Tennessee town said nearly one-third of customers lost power when a squirrel came into contact with substation equipment.
Dickson Electric System in Dickson said in a Twitter post that many customers lost power for a brief time Tuesday when “a cute little squirrel” entered a substation and “created a whole lot of chaos.”
The company said the power was only out for a short time.
“We don’t always lose power to nearly a third of our customers all at the same time, but when we do, it’s usually related to an uninvited guest inside our substation,” the company tweeted.
