CINCINNATI -- About 5,000 Duke Energy customers temporarily lost power
Monday morning and the cause of the outage had very little to do with
the weather.

Instead, a Duke spokesperson said customers in parts of Colerain
Township, Forest Park and Symmes Township in Hamilton County could
blame one crispy critter for the inconvenience.

A squirrel entered a power substation, ostensibly looking for warmth
and shelter, and got zapped, the utility company said.

The rodent’s demise triggered the large outage that hit before noon.


Check out the "killer squirrel" threds in the bicycle groups, Bob.


I spend too much time on Usenet now, so I'll pass. Sorry if
my trim was inappropriate.
