		<title>Power out on Harvest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight the power was cut on harvest lane due to a transformer failure. This is the one immediately in front of the house that burned down. To my knowledge this is the second time this has happened in the past couple years. In light of that the power co. Will be upgrading it to a larger one.  They should have it installed sometime tonight.  Thanks to whomever called it in this time!
