About 500 homes and businesses lost power on Plymouth’s east side Tuesday evening after lightning struck a utility pole, officials said this morning.
John MacKinnon, manager of Plymouth Utilities, said the strike occurred about 6:40 p.m. in the 2400 block of Eastern Avenue, near Walgreens. The lightning destroyed an insulator and caused an electrical wire to break and fall to the ground.
The outage area was bordered by county Highway PP, Kiley Way, Highland Avenue and Willow Road. That includes the south industrial park and the Plymouth Commons Shopping Center.
About three-quarters of the affected customers had power restored within an hour, and the remainder were largely back by 9 p.m., MacKinnon said. Walgreens was the last restored at 9:15 p.m.
