DRY STREAK ENDS, WINDS KNOCK OUT POWER

(Richmond, IN)--A line of rain Tuesday night ended Richmond’s 16-day dry spell, but it also brought high winds that knocked out power to well over a thousand customers.  Most of the Richmond outages were south of U.S. 40.  RP&L issued a statement saying that they were experiencing problems with the feeds coming into two substations.  At 12:20 Wednesday morning, power was fully restored.  Tuesday night’s rain ended the longest dry spell that Richmond had experienced since 1999.
