Power Outage

Last evening, we had an area-wide power outage that lasted for several hours. It may have been weather-related as we had a thunderstorm last evening.

I went to bed about 45 minutes earlier than usual and when I woke up, the power was on.

According to the McKinley County Sheriff, who posted this on Facebook:

All of Gallup is without power. We believe this is a PNM feeder issue. We do not have an estimated time to restoration.

We will update this post when more is known.

We have received reports that Thoreau, Jamestown, and Gamerco are also without power.

Thoreau is about 15 miles east of Jamestown.

I joked on our Jamestown Community Facebook page that the dilithium crystals failed. (Trekkers would know about dilithium crystals.)

This is an area map of the outage:

Jamestown is not shown on this map. 

Continental Divide Electric Co-Op reported at 10:20 that power had been restored.
