    THROOP, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Power was cut off for nearly 400 people Tuesday in Lackawanna County.

    Crews say they were working to replace old telephone poles near Olyphant and Throop when the grid became overloaded from grid testing.

    Officials say the system was already pushed to the limit from higher than normal voltage due to the high temperatures.

    Power was restored to residents just before 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
