Power out in part of east metro

January 31, 2013 at 6:35PM

About 2,300 Xcel Energy Co. customers in Oakdale, Maplewood and Lake Elmo lost electrical power at 11:18 a.m. Thursday.

Crews were working to restore the power, said Mary Sandok, spokeswoman for the utility company. It is uncertain what caused the outage. Temperatures were in the single digits approaching zero when the outage occurred.
