The story in brief
An electrical fire disrupted downtown Tallahassee near the Florida Capitol on Tuesday morning, Florida Phoenix reported. City utilities shut off electricity so crews could work, leaving nearby traffic signals out and prompting street closures around the Leon County Courthouse. About 153 downtown customers still lacked power around 1 p.m. The city placed most impacts along Monroe Street near an FDOT paving project, but the cause remained under investigation. Firefighters ruled out initial reports of a gas leak.
