Squirrels cause outages all the time by chewing through wires.

As a cable-guy, we had a "rodent damage" service code to bill the main company. Sometimes they pick a spot they hate and kill it with their teeth, no one knows why lol.

I remember seeing the guy from the electric company bring a fried squirrel back to his truck after fixing a power outage. Pretty wild.

And iguanas are basically the squirrels of the tropics, so this story makes sense.

Except Iguanas are way larger and quite a bit meaner!

Two power outages this year because of that for me. My wife thought a bomb went off for a second, because she just saw a flash and heard a big book right outside our living room lol.
