Squirrel knocks out power to 3,000

The Capital-Journal(http://www.cjonline.com)

About 3,000 electricity customers in west Topeka were without power this morning for more than an hour.
Karla Olsen, spokeswoman for Westar Energy, said a squirrel got into equipment at a substation near S.W. 17th and Fairlawn. Olsen said power went out at about 7:50 a.m. and was restored at about 9 a.m.

She said the outage occurred in an area between S.W. 10th to S.W. 21st and S.W. Fairlawn to S.W. Wanamaker.

At least it's not that Northeastern blackout, it could've been worse!
