Lights Out! in the Valley

| |

One of the ceramic insulators atop the oil-insulated circuit-breaker was knocked off by the force of the electrical energy.

Two holes were burned through the metal case by the force of the electricity.

Lineman Richardson shows the device that was responsible for knocking out power all over town.

The failure of an oil-insulated circuit-breaker located in the electrical system near the intersection of Eckford and North Court Streets blacked out the city for just over an hour Wednesday night. Andy Hall of the Water Valley Electric Department speculated that water may have gotten into the device through a crack in the insulation.
