with the reporting. It reads as if a truck, mooching along the road, had a power pole jump out and hit it. Big ups to the power company getting the power back on so fast.
Those pesky power poles...

I hate it when they jump out in front of and 'crash with vehicles'... they should try securing the poles better...
