Nearly 70,000 people are without power in Arkanwhatnow?!
That’s right folks, we’re talking about the state that’s shaped like a fried chicken leg, famous for its college football team, and now, famous for its major power outage. All we can say is, “Arkansaw what you did there?”
In a state of emergency, you say? Well, we hope their emergency kit includes plenty of candles, the latest season of Ozark on Netflix, and maybe a few battery-operated fans because things are about to get real sweaty.
Rumor has it that the power outage was caused by a rogue herd of electric-hungry Razorback hogs who chewed through a few power lines. Or perhaps it was a group of college students who threw an epic kegger and overloaded the system with their party playlist. Either way, we can’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all.
We hope the good people of Arkansee the humor in this situation and come out of it with a greater appreciation for electricity. In the meantime, we’ll be sending positive vibes and spare batteries their way. Stay strong, Arkantired of this power outage!
