Mall Lights Dim After Transformer Fuse Failure
City electrical officials traced the outage to a mainline fuse blowing at a Westchester Drive transformer serving Belk-Beck and nearby shops. The fuse was replaced in 20 minutes, but Belk and JC Penney faced hours of partial or full closure as the overheated transformer, damaged by weekend lightning, was shut down for safety and inspected. Lights gradually returned by 8:30 p.m. with repairs completed.

Lt. Cagle explained the plants may have grown from a discarded roach or could have sprouted wild, noting similar wild growth in Utah and Arizona.
