A late morning power outage affected WTAMU and parts of Canyon on Oct. 24.
“[The power outage] fried four computers in the HELC,” Jessica Phillips, an IT employee, said. “We got a call about an issue from Old Main.”
Phillips’ supervisor was at Walmart when the outage occurred. The power shut off there as well, indicating a potential citywide power issue.“The power flickered for a few minutes at my apartment and then came back on,” Tyler Wingo, a junior Physics major, said.
Misti Wilcox, an employee of City Hall, said that the issue would likely be related to Xcel Energy. They could not be reached for comment as of press time.
