More than 2,000 homes on the west side of Carson City were without power for three hours last night and into this morning after a roofing firm knocked down a power pole on Curry Street last night.
Karl Walquist, spokesman for Sierra Pacific Power, said a forklift snagged a telephone line between Spear and Telegraph streets which then snapped a power pole causing the power line to break.
Walquist said all but 40 customers had their power restored by 2 a.m. this morning, 35 more had their power restored by 6 a.m. and the five remaining homes were expected to have power back up by 11 a.m.
The outage also affected traffic lights from William to Musser streets on Carson Street.
