It's always the squirrel's
fault.A 17-minute power outage Wednesday morning can be blamed on a squirrel.
Xcel Energy Spokesman Wes Reeves said about 3,000 customers in Borger lost power at 9:55 a.m.
"The squirrel got into the West Borger Substation," Reeves said.
Squirrels are the "chief offenders" for power outages when the weather is not a factor, Reeves said.
Ha! "Chief Offenders!"
