Brian tipped us off that there’s a power outage in Lower Wallingford this morning due to a downed pole. From his photo, it looks to be at 34th and Meridian.
He sends his condolences to Burks and the other Wallingford pole polishers.
Alixito adds that it was caused by a car accident and that approximately 630 homes are impacted. Estimated fix by 2:07 pm.
The Prius saved the Honda! Any pics of the car that caused the pole toppling down??
The truck in the shrubs hit the pole. Both airbags were deployed, and it came to rest on the entrance to the Windermere building.
I’m pretty certain the Prius wasn’t hit by the pole. It just looks that way in the photo. I walked down there this morning around 7:30. I heard the big boom-boom around 5 am.
Also, Wallyhood just said pole-polisher…
Pole polisher. Heh heh.
It caused the loudest boom!
