      We had the same problem here at RPI. A raccoon leaped onto
   the main transformer blowing out the campus... It was then shot
   15 feet in the air over the fence and landed in the driveway.
    Explained why I couldn't call into the computer that day! :-)

We've had similar problems at Rice with squirrels.  In fact, it's happened
so often that the Physical Plant is accused of employing
"throw-down squirrels" as an excuse for flickers.
