Downed Line Causes Walnut Hill Power Outage
December 28, 2014
Power was out for part of Walnut Hill Sunday morning due to a downed power line on South Highway 99 just south of Highway 97.
The line was discovered down, but still live and arcing on the ground before 6 a.m.
Escambia River Electric cut power about 6:35 a.m. to make repairs. Power was restored about 7:45 a.m.
The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue also responded to the downed line.

Power was lost in north Beulah area for 3 hours and 20 minutes last Saturday morning from about 4am to about 7:20am, but I did not see any mention in any of the news services as to what caused it. I hope that the fire started by this downed line did not damage any homes.
