How far did the power outage this morning extend?
Any word on what caused it?

"A squirrel got into a piece of equipment on a pole. Unfortunately, it happens from time to time," said NSTAR spokesperson Caroline Allen. "About 1,200 customers were effected."

A summer or two ago, East Arlington was having power outages -- very short ones, just a couple of minutes, but just long enough to cost us several hundred dollars in computer equipment -- every day at right around 6am.

NSTAR told us "squirrels" too.

Riiiiiiiiiiight.

Only J.P. Licks and Store 24 were thriving in the Square and mysteriously retained power.

OMG! Ice-cream conspiracy!

Think J.P. Licks has some kind of battery backup system?

i wonder what happened to the squirrel :(

Wow, they really did say "... customers were effected" in the paper. Bad proofreader, no biscuit, but it made me laugh and try to imagine what that would actually be like :)

Did you see my comment on the earlier post?

Yeah, I winced when I pasted that.

I think their power comes from a different main?

Sure. I believe it. Squirrels are evil (http://www.scarysquirrel.org).

Oh, yeah, definitely evil. But do they have eerily accurate internal clocks??
