Staff Reports
About 100 Gardnerville Ranchos residents were in the dark on Monday night due to a power outage.
The outage began at 6 p.m., according to Sierra Pacific Power Co. Spokesman Karl Walquist.
Walquist said power crews were able to start restoring power at about 8 p.m., but that some households were still without electricity at 2 a.m.
Walquist said crews believe that lightning strikes between Carson Valley and the Fort Churchill power plant may have been responsible for the outage.
He said there were strikes on multiple lines on Monday. Several momentary power outages also hit Gardnerville Monday evening.
