The owner of Tropical Smoothie Café in Oakwood explained how no power means no customers.
“When power goes down in my business,” Chris Becker said, “I’ve got to shut down.”
He also said he must consider his employees.
“I’m going to have three more people showing up here in roughly 20 minutes. I don’t want to send them home. They depend on what I pay them to pay their bills.”

Power was out for roughly three hours before being fully restored.
