THOUSANDS GO WITHOUT POWER SUNDAY … AND SOME INTO MONDAY MORNING AFTER LIGHTNING STRIKES A PNM POWER STATION AT LADERA AND UNSER. IT SPARKED A BRUSH FIRE THAT ALBUQUERQUE FIRE CREWS QUICKLY PUT OUT … AND TRIGGERED THE OUTAGE THAT HIT NOT ONLY ALBUQUERQUE … BUT RIO RANCHO, ISLETA, PERALTA, LOS LUNAS, GALLUP AND SANTA FE.
OUR PARTNER, KOB-TV, REPORTS PROBLEMS CAUSED BY THE OUTAGE INCLUDE A MOTORCYCLIST BEING KILLED IN SANTA FE AND A 40 YEAR OLD PEDESTRIAN HIT WHILE CROSSING A STREET WHERE THE LIGHTS WERE NOT FLASHING.
MOST EVERYONE SHOULD BE BACK ON BY NOW, BUT IF YOUR POWER IS STILL OUT, CONTACT PNM.
