Raccoon Causes Power Outage
A raccoon, not weather, caused this morning's power outage in the City of Bradford.
Penelec spokeswoman Linda Routzhan tells WESB and The HERO the raccoon came in contact with a circuit breaker on a high voltage supply line at around 5:30 this morning.
Penele crews were able to "do some switching and back feed all customers." Power was restored about about 6:45 a.m.
Crews are checking out the circuit breaker to make sure everything can run normally.
About 2,300 customers were affected.
