Power outages

Is anyone else experiencing power outages right near Davis? (Im over near Day st) at this hour it's hard to tell if other homes are affected.

Eversource just robo-called me (and probably you, too) to say that the power is fully restored and that the outage was caused by "animal contact with equipment".

Perhaps squirrels munching on wires?

My memory is that it's one of the most common causes for outages.

A quick Google, and this might be what I remember - though in the listing were also several other links saying squirrels cause over half of power outages.
