ROCHESTER, Minn. – A couple thousand households in a southeast neighborhood lost power for about an hour. A Rchester Public Utilities crew couldn’t figure out why – until a surveillance video showed a racoon exiting a transformer. The critter had his brush with high voltage and rambled out unharmed. This was about 3 a.m.
