Raccoon Causes Power Outage in Posey County
It seems thunderstorms aren't the only thing causing power outages over the weekend!
According to 14NEWS, a raccoon is to blame for thousands in Mount Vernon over the weekend. It appears late Sunday night, early Monday morning, over 2,000 customers were without power! Vectren took to twitter to confirm the cause (which was the raccoon) and that crews were headed out to repair. Thankfully, after a few hours, all customers without power had been restored!
I have never heard of a raccoon doing this but all I can say (because I am a Posey county resident) is, only in Poco this would happen!
