Squirrel Power! - NYTimes.com:
"But since Memorial Day, I’ve cataloged reports of 50 power outages caused by squirrels in 24 states.
(And these, of course, are only those power outages severe enough to make the news.)
Fifteen hundred customers lost power in Mason City, Iowa; 1,500 customers in Roanoke, Va.; 5,000 customers in Clackamas County, Ore.; and 10,000 customers in Wichita, Kan. — and that was just during two particularly busy days in June.
A month later, there were two separate P.O.C.B.S., as I’ve come to call power outages caused by squirrels, around the small town of Evergreen, Mont., on a single day."
