Just after 8 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 22, power was cut off at most buildings on the UW-River Falls campus. The culprit was an unlucky squirrel that chewed through some electrical power lines. A transformer blew.
According to UW-RF spokesman Blake Fry, power was restored faster to some parts of the campus. North Hall, Kleinpell Fine Arts and the University Center were the last buildings to get power back.
All it all, it took about an hour and a half before the entire UW-RF campus was back operating at full power.
