Watch what happened when a raccoon single-handedly knocked out the power to much of downtown Toronto last night
· Feb 2, 2024 · NottheBee.com

In a world where nobody seems to dream big anymore, it's encouraging to see there are still a few go-getters out there:

Thousands of Toronto Hydro customers were without power on Thursday evening thanks to a raccoon that made contact with Hydro One equipment at a downtown station, the utilities say. ...

At its peak at about 9:30 p.m., about 7,000 Toronto Hydro customers were affected.

Seven thousand! When was the last time you had that big of an effect on 7,000 people's days?

Scenes in downtown Toronto on Thursday night were low-key chaotic.

Thankfully, the story has a happy ending:

No word yet on whether the raccoon survived "making contact" with the power equipment.

If not, may he be welcomed to Valhalla with great praise!
