Squirrel Prompts Widespread Power Outage in Central San Diego

A squirrel left more than 45,000 customers across San Diego without power for several hours Tuesday, according to San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E).
     Residents from San Diego's University Heights to North Park to Normal Heights to Old Town and Kensington neighborhoods were without power from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m., according to SDG&E spokeswoman Helen Gao.
     The squirrel came in contact with a high voltage transmission line, leaving the entire substation shut down, Gao said.
