Just when I was beginning to question the whole “energy you can depend on” tagline, the power came back on at my South Milwaukee home around 4:30 p.m., or three hours after we lost it this afternoon.
The outage affected 3,688 customers in all, the man on the We Energies telephone recording told me. And the cause is still under investigation.
Check out the cool We Energies online outage map here, which shows the outage was confined to the South Shore.
Oak Creek Patch also has coverage.
