A squirrel watches from above as snowshoers pass by in the North Chagrin Reservation on Sunday, February 13, 2022. The Cleveland Metroparks North Chagrin Reservation Nature Center only offers snowshoe rentals, but cross-country skiing is permitted if you bring your own skis. In addition to the many areas for snowshoeing and x-country skiing, there are many trails that have also been cleared for general hiking.David Petkiewicz, cleveland.com
SAGINAW TWP, MI -- -- Consumers Energy reports that power was interrupted to roughly 6,500 hundred residential and business customers because a squirrel damaged equipment at a power substation.
Consumers representative Terry DeDoes says at 10:51 a.m. on Friday, May 27, a squirrel got into the Cheyenne substation in Saginaw Township.

DeDoes says it was originally thought that the outage affecting residents in the area, stretching from Tittabawassee Road to Brockway and Hospital Road to Bay Road, was related to a passing rainstorm and damaged lines.
After initial reports of an estimated power restoration time of 5 p.m., DeDoes said residents can expect to have electricity by 4 p.m. or sooner as load transition to other substations begins.
