Power Outage overnight

[MattB]

I live in Bethany, and lost power at about 0200 this morning for about 2.5 hours. I looked out all of my second story windows and it was dark for as far as the eye could see in all directions. Friends said the power went out for about 15 minutes just before that in Warr Acres. Can't find anything about it in the news. Does anyone know the cause of the outage?

Best guess, based on when it happens at my lil' corner of paradise ... wet footed squirell meets transformer

I found out from an on-duty co worker that some knucklehead hit one of the high line poles on the north side of N.W. 39th at Glade and plunged us all into the darkness.
