Major power outage in Benton
Due to a fire at a substation on Linton Cutoff Road, 1,900 Benton households will have no power for the next 24 hours. The news account on KSLA says that flames shot as high as 60 to 80 feet in the air.
This is much more than an inconvenience, but is a dangerous situation with the area under an excessive heat warning. Temperatures today are supposed to hit 109 degrees, with the 100 degree + days continuing all week.

Did it get your place?
He will let you know when the power comes back on.
Talked to a friend of mine on Cypress Lake and his power came back on about 230pm

Was thinking the same thing.
A co-worker said hers came back on mid-afternoon. Good work!
