Squirrel causes power outage, school closure
If you lost power near Forest Park Monday morning, you can blame an
unusual culprit - a squirrel.
About 4,500 Duke Energy customers lost power in Forest Park,
Colerain
Township and other nearby neighborhoods after a squirrel entered a
substation and got zapped, a Duke Energy spokesperson said.
The power outage forced Northwest High School officials to dismiss
school at 11:45 a.m. Monday.
The outage occurred around 9:45 a.m., the spokesperson said. Power
was
restored to most customers by noon, and the remainder got it back
by 1
p.m.
The squirrel did not survive.
