Orange Park power outage caused by snake

Jacksonville, FL — An early morning power outage that impacted more than 2,000 JEA customers in the Orange Park area was caused by a snake at a substation.

According to a JEA spokesperson, power was restored to all customers before sunrise.  The snake, clearly, did not survive.
