Power outage

A chunk of Smyrna, along the Hazelwood area, was without power today.

A doofus semi truck driver was making a delivery to the stores near Smyrna video when they snagged the power lines.

This act pulled one pole about 10 degrees off kilter, and another about 45 degrees off kilter. The badly off-angled one dropped two transformers to the ground. Luckily the hit directly between Smyrna video, and La Petite. In the process of pulling the power lines, the wires going into the back of Smyrna video were badly pulled out. The standard power boxes on the back of the store were just barely hanging there.

Our power was out for about 2 hours that I know of. La Petite said they would get their power back Saturday. Not sure of Smyrna video, but their systems looked messed up beyond a single days work.

update
I was driving past the Smyrna video and saw that the whole row of stores had their power back on at 9pm. A total rebuild in just 8-9 hours by the city utilities. Consider me impressed.
