Engineers for Midwest Energy Cooperative say they have never seen anything like this. A mysterious fire destroyed an entire power substation and left 12-hundred customers in White Pigeon and Constantine in the dark for much of Monday evening.

They have been able to back feed service to restore power, but it may take them a while to rebuild the substation, which was totally flattened. The Cooperative's Terry Rubenthaler says there was so much damage, that they may never be able to tell what destroyed it. They will be evaluating the situation and then deciding how to proceed with repairs.
