(LAKE WORTH BEACH, FLA) — While thousands of customers in North Carolina lost power after someone shot up two substations, an iguana is to blame for a large-scale power outage in Palm Beach County. Officials at Lake Worth Beach say an iguana’s tail hit a transformer and blew out the Sixth Avenue substation. Customers were without power for about half hour Wednesday night in the city’s southeast area. Officials say the iguana did not survive.
