It wasn't Terrorists, but an Iguana, that Killed Power in Southeast Florida

You see them a lot around the waterways in Southeast Florida. Sunning themselves and warming up. If you scare them they'll jump into the water and swim away.

It wasn't terrorists, or a car accident hitting a power pole, but an Iguana - that killed power to supposedly 20,000 in Tamarac and Pompano Beach. Although ASMT is near the area we were not affected and had no power or Internet outage from the incident. It is interesting because it was so close by.

I guess they are going to have to word those "Danger High Voltage" signs in Iguana language as well as English and Spanish. The Iguana was pronounced dead on discovery by Florida Power and Light (not normally a medical organization.)

I guess they are going to have to "Beef up Security around the Whopper" (as a pun and quote from the old War Games movie.) If an Iguana can get in then who/what else can get in?
