Thousands lose power in Greely due to 'animal contact'

Almost 5,000 customers were out of power in the Greely region Saturday afternoon due to an outage caused by “animal contact.”
Hydro One was not more suspect on the animal suspected, but squirrels have been known to break lightning resisters on power lines, which can lead to outages.
Repair crews were able to locate the break and power was restored before 4 p.m.
