TWIN FALLS, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — KMVT lost power Thursday afternoon along with 100 other customers, after a powerline fell due to the heavy and wet snow.At around 2:20 p.m., the Twin Falls Fire Department responded to Evergreen Drive, just off Blue Lakes Boulevard. A transformer blew, causing power to be cut off on the eastern side of Blue Lakes. According to the fire department, a witness noticed a few sparks coming from the powerline, followed by three loud bursts. That disruption caused a few of the lines to completely break free, falling to the ground.
