EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Electricity has been restored to 40 buildings at Michigan State University after an outage that lasted about 90 minutes.
Campus utility director Bob Ellerhorst blamed it on a fault in a cable Thursday morning. The university gets much of its power from the T.B. Simon Power Plant.
A student, Jack Nissen, tells the Lansing State Journal (https://on.lsj.com/23mhJRV ) that he was working on a research project when power went out. He says his “work was gone” from a computer.
Another student, Simon Schuster, says phones were used to light his classroom.
Ellerhorst says the outage wasn’t related to an acid spill at the power plant earlier this week.
