SAN ANTONIO — For the second time in as many days, the City of Seguin is being impacted by a raccoon-related power outage.
The Seguin Police Department said Monday night via Facebook that "another raccoon" managed to wriggle into a transformer, causing the outage. SPD says crews are hard at work to restore power, but didn't provide a timetable.
Officials also reminded the community that roadway intersections where traffic lights aren't working are to be treated like four-way stops, and urged those who have "a medical necessity for power" to call 911 so they can be taken to a nearby hospital.
It's unclear if the same raccoon perpetrator is behind Monday's outage. A substation was infiltrated by a raccoon over the weekend as well, resulting in a loss of power for nearly half of Seguin, according to police. It was restored to all households by 1:30 a.m. Monday.
