Nope. Not around here. (At least one that I'm aware of).

Are you sure it wasn't Fritz doing a Bichon Blitz?

It's funny you posted this. I read in this morning's newspaper about a power outage in Juneau, Alaska. Now, I doubt if it had anything to do with your surge.... but I thought it was so strange that I had to share.

Eagle, deer head, electricity: No mix

JUNEAU -- About 10,000 Juneau residents briefly lost power Sunday after a bald eagle lugging a deer head crashed into transmission lines. "You have to live in Alaska to have this kind of outage scenario," said Gayle Wood, an Alaska Electric Light & Power spokeswoman. "This is the story of the overly ambitious eagle who evidently found a deer head in the landfill." The hefty bounty apparently bogged down the eagle, which failed to clear transmission lines as it flew away from the landfill, she said. When a repair crew arrived, they found the eagle carcass with the deer head nearby. This eagle "got ahold of a little bit more than he could handle," Wood said. Power was out less than 45 minutes.

Ok, i shouldn't be laughing at a dead eagle, but I can't get the picture out of my head and its' making me giggle.

Do you have a link to the original article?
