Browning says a few years ago the same thing happened on the West Coast. Six states lost power all because a squirrel got burned on one of the transformers at a crucial time.

And ever vigilant FReepers have dutifully tracked these events:

Squirrel Plunges Downtown Saginaw Into Darkness
Squirrel fell on power line, authorities say
Squirrel (islamic militant?) knocks out power in OKC buildings
Squirrel Cuts Power Supply To 5,000

This conclusive evidence PROVES that there is a vast squirrelly conspiracy against our nation's electrical infrastructure.
Congress needs to act and place a bounty on ALL squirrels!

As every Seinfeld fan knows, while we have a deal with the pigeons, we have no deal with the squirrels.

Just a squirrel folks (or maybe lightening). Nothing to see here - move along.
