Blackout Strands Austin, County Residents for Hours
A city wide power failure cut electricity to Austin and Travis County for over an hour, leaving elevators and streets chaotic. Officials blamed a possible relay station fault between Austin and a Fayette County coal plant as power slowly returned, with 95 percent restored by 11:15 p.m. Authorities reported no major injuries though a gas leak fire destroyed an unoccupied mobile home and 40 life support calls were logged.
