OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – A three-hour power outage Friday morning shut down lunch prep at Paddy McGown’s restaurant in Omaha’s Robin Hill neighborhood, costing staff a full Friday lunch rush.
The outage began around 7:50 a.m., according to owner Dan Emsick.
“There was a loud pop in the neighborhood and everything went dark about 7:50 this morning…so I was pretty confused,” Emsick said.
