SAN JOSE (KRON)–A few mylar balloons got tangled up in power lines Saturday morning and left nearly 3,500 San Jose customers without power.

According to a spokesperson for Pacific Gas and Electric, the metallic balloons floated into power lines on Malone Road and Newport Avenue.

Authorities say, 3,597 customers lost power and as of 1:30 p.m. 380 households were still affected.

PG&E crews hope to fully restore power to the remaining customers by 4:00 p.m.

The electric company wants to encourage people to secular tie mylar ballons down to a weight or celebrate with them inside a closed facility.WHAT OTHERS ARE CLICKING ON:
