Tree knocks out power
A tree fell on a power line Tuesday evening, cutting off electricity to several blocks in the Holcom Park area of southern Lawrence, according to Westar Energy officials.
About 1,000 customers were without power for about an hour, a utility spokesman said.
The outage occurred when a tree fell while someone was doing yard work, a spokesman said.
