We always wonder where those balloons go when released to the heavens. Do they go to the next state, county or just fall at the neighbors? Well today some fell inside the Newland substation. And they fell exactly where they needed to shorting out the bus and taking out approximately 1800 customers. We apologize for the inconvenience, but this one was truly out of our hands! Lord only knows where they came from!
