AndyCherry Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Can top that. Cement truck went over on the mountain road that leads to my Village. Took out 8 poles and power was off for 11 hours. And I live on a lake made by one of the biggest Hydro Power dams in the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
