Apparently, a squirrel caused quite a mess on the roads Thursday morning.
Vienna Patch reported a squirrel crossed a power transformer inVienna, Va., leaving 2,700 people in the dark around 7:30 a.m. Traffic lights also went out in several intersections during the morning commute, from Follin Lane to -- we're not making this up -- Nutley Street.
Police sent generators to intersections to keep traffic moving.
A Dominion Power representative said crews are working to restore power at a substation near Town Hall. Earlier this morning she said customers should have power back by 9:15 am. Those who don't should call Dominion Power at (866) 366-4357.
