Snake suffocates in America! 16 thousand houses drowned in darkness, the struggle lasted for hours

washington, In America, a snake cut off the electricity of 16,000 houses (Electricity Shutdown in US). The incident came to light in the US city of Austin when a snake slipped into a substation and came in contact with equipment. Fox News reported that the outage began at 1 a.m. on May 16, affecting about 16,000 customers. The incident occurred when a snake entered a substation and came in contact with an electrified circuit, causing a power failure.

At the same time, Austin Energy said in its tweet that interference of wildlife can cause power failure. Today a snake crawled into one of our substations and came in contact with an electrified circuit which stopped the flow of electricity. Power was later restored to all affected customers by 2 pm.

Austin Energy spokesman Matt Mitchell said the company is now in the process of installing low-voltage electric snake fencing around substations to keep the crawling reptiles out. Let us tell you that in a similar incident last year, about 10,000 houses in Japan lost power when a snake fell into an electric substation.
