There was a power outage of about 13 hours yesterday in Opelika (Lee County) and I still don't know what caused it. I called to report it 1 hour into after the outage, asked for the cause of the outage and approximate time to get it restored, and nobody knew. Reported it again after 2:00 am and received no answer as to what caused it and estimated time for power to be restored, and still no answer. I was only told that there were 3400 people without power, however I can't find any news about it.
