Unrelated, but, power outages due to ‘this’??? Over the past week, snakes have crawled into electrical ‘substations’ and shorted out equipment, causing several major power outages. One snake outage incident was Thursday night in Rolesville (NE Wake county), and the first was nearly a week ago in Durham. Thousands of Duke Energy customers in Wayne County were without power on Sunday night after a snake got into equipment and triggered an outage. Yikes!
