RENO, Nev. (AP) — A power outage left thousands of homes and businesses without electricity in northern Nevada.
NV Energy says the outages first reported at 12:30 p.m. Thursday were caused by unspecified equipment damage.
At one point, nearly 5,000 customers were without power in the Reno-Sparks area, most of them in the Sun Valley area northeast of Reno.
Another 1,000 customers were affected by a disruption in Yerington about 60 miles southeast of Reno.
NV Energy expected all power would be restored by Thursday evening.
