PECO officials said showers likely caused both faults, one possibly triggering the other. No damage or property loss reported. Power restored by 10:01 p.m. after faults at a fairground area and at Fifth and East streets. Downtown and eastern sections restored quicker. other areas regained service later. Street lights were affected, and the city load was reduced during the outage. The blackout occurred during showers that followed weeks of dry weather. More rain is not promised soon. farmers say pasture and soil will benefit only with additional showers.
