UPDATE 2-Cancun's power coming back after outages in Mexico's Yucatan
"Electricity is gradually coming back, traffic lights at 100 percent," Mara Lezama, the mayor of the Benito Juarez municipality which encompasses Cancun, said on Twitter. A resident of Tulum confirmed that electricity had returned there.
State-run power utility CFE said that a brushwood fire between transmission towers had caused the power outage. Power outages had been reported throughout the peninsula, which is dotted with Caribbean coastal resorts.
Places affected included Cancun and Tulum in the state of Quintana Roo, the city of Merida in Yucatan state, and the neighboring state of Campeche, a major oil-producing region. (Reporting by Dave Graham, Sharay Angulo and Anthony Esposito; Editing by Sandra Maler)
