Harmless and cute as they seem, these fuzzy little creatures aren’t as innocent as you think! Squirrels tend to chew things but combine this with power lines, and there’s going to be a problem.

Squirrel-induced blackouts are much smaller and easier to fix than a blackout caused by a storm, as generally, there’s just one cable to repair – there’s only so much damage one squirrel can do!
