Michael: Racoons put my electrical power out last night. I have a transformer pole in my yard. From the window I could see arcing and what sounded like electric welding and out went the lights. I fumbled around found my flashlight. Two of the three wires coming from transformer pole to the house were crossed and two racoons still on top of pole cross bars. I think there must have been a 3rd one that fell striking one of the 3 wires just below the transformer and going to the house. That must have flipped that wire over the other. I say he must have only hit one wire, as I didn't have any dead and fried racoon for breakfast.

I called Hydro, then went to bed. When I awoke at 4 am, lights were back on. I suppose the Hydro guys may have wanted the racoon for breakfast, never thought of that. I haven't talked to them since. My good better half is all wrapped up in this world cup soccer, glad there wasn't a game on. She was in bed and I was having my last look of the day at YT when this happened. Computer scolded me this morning for not shutting it down properly. For me,I had probably had said enough on YT for the day anyhow.
