KOKOMO, Ind. — A wayward squirrel invaded a power substation and left more than 5,000 homes and businesses without electricity.
Duke Energy restored the service from the South Main Street substation near Wildcat Creek after about an hour Sunday night.
"We lost the squirrel and 5,039 customers for the space of an hour," Duke spokesman Rob Norris said.
The outage included much of the city's central neighborhoods west of U.S. 31.
