Lightning Cuts Power In Brownfield Downtime
A violent lighting strike on a Brownfield utility pole knocked out power for much of downtown Monday night. Electric crews led by Superintendent Butch Wagner and Assistant Superintendent Jeff Davis worked Tuesday to repair the damaged hardware atop the pole near the Power Station, restoring service after about an hour outage. Police directed traffic at Lubbock Highway and Main during the outage while moisture data shows July rainfall at .27 inches and year to date moisture reaching 16.49 inches.
