Owl causes lights to go out in parts of S. Tahoe
Wildlife darkened parts of South Lake Tahoe on Saturday night.
“A good size owl got into the line and blew some fuses,” Randy Kelly with Liberty Utilities told Lake Tahoe News.
When crews arrived about 9pm Feb. 17 people were standing around the animal on Cedar Street.
Residences and hotels near the state line had their power out for less than an hour.
While critters have caused power outages before, usually it’s blue jays or squirrels.
