OMG! It looks like a car hit a light pole in my backyard. The pole is completely cracked! It took down part of our backyard fence with the neighbor and part of the city's wall along the main road & my backyard and the power pole didn't fall completely to the ground because it is resting against a tree.

I'm amazed we still have power right now!

H & I didn't hear I thing, but I was napping & H was on the phone. There is unbelievably no car out there but the damage is so extensive some vehicle had to have hit it.

H called the electric company and the police. Police dispatcher said there had been an accident reported there earlier & someone may already be out there looking into it; she'd check. The power company said it is considered an emergency and they'd send someone out but they couldn't text updates or tell us when.

Saw someone w/ a yellow vest walking along the street but no police cars yet. We think it must have been a big rig truck that hit it and drove off because I don't think a car could have driven off after the amt. of damage out there.

I hope it is fixed soon and that we won't be out of power too long.
