14 Hours Without Power

At about noon on Tuesday 6/9/09 my power went out and stayed out until about 2am. We found out during the day of the outage it was due to a broken power pole on Third East. Of course I had to get pictures of it. Here is a bit of the broken pole still connected to the power wires just dangling after they cut the rest away.

Power guys working on the pole.

Here is the pile of the power pole pieces after they took it down.

This was taken at about 5pm. The pieces of the power pole are still smoldering. I guess it was on fire at one point.

You can see that piece of the old power pole hanging in midair still connected to the power wires while the power guys are getting the new power pole ready to accept the power wires.
