UPDATED: Power restored in Janesville
JANESVILLE--Power has been restored after a major outage left customers in downtown and around Milton Avenue without power today.
The first outage hit at 11:30 a.m. when a tree fell on a distribution line, taking down power in downtown and the northwest part of the city, an Alliant Energy spokesman said. Power was restored by 12:41 p.m.
A second outage, which officials believe is not related to the first, happened at about the same time when two fuses blew. That outage affected the Milton Avenue-Black Bridge Road-Kennedy Road area.
The outages are not believed to be related to the flooding.

came home from sandbagging just north of the court street and north main intersection...
the residents and businesses right on the river are under mandatory evacuation. from what i understand is that the businesses are forced to remain closed for at least 3-5 days.
please pray for them! for the small businesses, like them or not, this is a straw that could break their camels' backs.

michelle - yes, a parade of sorts. The MDA Tub Run was today. Hundreds, if not thousands of motorcycles left Kutter Harley Davidson at noon and proceeded through town on N Pontiac Drive to head out of town on Ruger Avenue.
I was halfway through a relaxing massage at the Spa at Riverfront when the power went out. That sucked...but what can you do? :-)

what else was going on in town today that everyone was in their lawn for? Did someone of importance come through? Parade?
