Fallen branch causes morning PNM outages
Nov. 14—A fallen tree branch caused power outages to more than 4,000 homes Monday in Santa Fe following an early morning storm that brought a blanket of snow and freezing temperatures to the city.
Public Service Company of New Mexico spokesman Eric Chavez said the morning outages were almost fully resolved in just under two hours.
"There was over 4,000 affected, and within two minutes the customers affected dropped down from 4,238 to 2,774," Chavez said.
He added the outages began at 6:51 a.m., and lasted until 8:49 a.m. However, Chavez could not immediately provide the location where the tree branch fell or the areas affected Monday.
Chavez said by around 10 a.m. there was only one outage affecting a single customer.
