CANONSBURG, Pa. (AP) - A raccoon is being blamed for a small power outage in a community south of Pittsburgh.

West Penn Power officials say the animal chewed through a power line cutting service to about 700 residents in Peters Township early Monday.

The utility says the power was restored by about 5 a.m.
