## Resource

A raven caused a major blackout in Girdwood, Alaska, knocking out power for nearly 2,000 residents after damaging critical electrical wiring and a circuit switcher. Repairs stretched from early Friday morning into the evening, forcing gas stations to shut down pumps and resorts like Alyeska to delay reopening. Officials scrambled to fix the damage, reminding everyone how fragile our infrastructure is—even when it’s something as small as a bird.
