Tokyo - About 4 900 households in Japan lost power after a snake climbed
up a utility pole, a news report said on Thursday.
Power in the western city of Shimonoseki was automatically shut down
when a current leak was detected, the Kyodo News agency reported, citing
officials at Chugoku Electric Power Co.
A utility worker found a 1-metre-long dead snake hanging from a 10-metre-
high wire, Kyodo said.
The power went down for several minutes two to five times late Wednesday
and about 2 000 households continued to lose power for more than three
hours early Thursday, the report said
