What you are looking at here is the Saturday afternoon view from my bedroom window. I was in the kitchen this morning when I heard a loud noise that sounded like the garbage truck dropping a garbage bin, with the noise much louder than the norm.
I looked out the window and just as I saw the garbage truck, across the street from my abode I heard a loud explosive popping noise, and then saw a fireball.
I could see the dump truck had some snagged lines from a power pole, breaking the pole near the bottom, causing the pole to lean over.
My power flickered off for a second or two.
Soon sirens were blaring, followed by the arrival of a firetruck and other emergency vehicles. A few hours later the repair was underway, and is ongoing.
This sort of thing passes for excitement in this dull little town...
