    Uh! how about that
  • 1:25 - 1:26
    I didn´t even know.
  • 1:26 - 1:27
    I was listening to music all night
  • 1:27 - 1:31
    You were listening to music but there was no electricity!
  • 1:31 - 1:33

    everybody is talking about
  • 1:36 - 1:38
    what they were doing last night when
  • 1:38 - 1:39
    the lights went out.
  • 1:39 - 1:42
    But why did the lights go out?
  • 1:42 - 1:44
    To find the answer, Side by side TV news
  • 1:44 - 1:47
    reporter Gloria Rodriguez is standing by
  • 1:47 - 1:49
    in the main office of the power company
  • 1:49 - 1:50
    Gloria
  • 1:50 - 1:53
    I´m here at the main office of the Centerville power
  • 1:53 - 1:55
    company with Fred Watts
  • 1:55 - 1:57
    the company´s director of public information
  • 1:57 - 2:00
    Mister Watts, what happened last night?
  • 2:00 - 2:01
    Well, Gloria, as you know
  • 2:01 - 2:04
    the lights went out all over the town
  • 2:04 - 2:06
    Yes, we know that mister Watts
  • 2:06 - 2:08
    can you tell us why?
  • 2:08 - 2:10
    Well, we aren´t sure yet
  • 2:10 - 2:12
    we know that is was raining very hard
  • 2:12 - 2:13
    when the blackout occured
  • 2:13 - 2:15
    but we aren´t certain that´s the reason
  • 2:15 - 2:16
    for the problem
  • 2:16 - 2:17
    We´re working on it.
  • 2:17 - 2:20
    Mr. Watts is it true that you were having
  • 2:20 - 2:22
    a big party here las night and
  • 2:22 - 2:24
    nobody was watching the controls?
  • 2:24 - 2:26
    Absolutely not!
  • 2:26 - 2:28
    We were working here and doing our jobs
  • 2:28 - 2:30
    as usual
  • 2:30 - 2:32
    Well, thank you for talking with us, Mr. Watts
  • 2:32 - 2:34
    So, Bob and jackie
  • 2:34 - 2:36
    that´s what we know right now
  • 2:36 - 2:38
    It was raining very hard last night
  • 2:38 - 2:40
    and perhaps that´s the reason the lights
  • 2:40 - 2:42
    went out all over the town.
  • 2:42 - 2:45
    This is Gloria Rodriguez reporting live
