Snake blamed for Oklahoma City power outage
OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) – A snake that crawled into an electrical substation on Thursday knocked out power to nearly 14,000 homes on the northwest side of Oklahoma’s state capital, utility officials said. The power failure occurred at about 2 a. m. (7 a. m.
