I've got a big old tree out here in the middle of the road.
00:06
I'm walking underneath State Line now trying to see if we can't figure it out.
00:12
And what it appears to me, it looks like it's going to be kind of either a fiber optic cable or just a sparklight in general.
00:22
Yeah, it's going to be about even with this crane that's facing in the westbound lane.
00:31
Yeah,
00:34
it's going to be ours over here off a mile drive.

I've got the guide wire over here now that I can see that got ripped.
00:42
Can forward. Y'all have DPS ring around?
00:48
That I couldn't tell you, but I mean if he was on interstate and all he did was grab a hold of that wire, unfortunately it's not going to be an actual 50 for us anyways.
01:00
Yeah, well,
01:03
somehow he grabbed a hold of it. It went sideways into his cab.

I don't know what I've been talking about over there, but I think we've kind of figured out what actually happened to cause all this humongous mess.

that's still up in the air,

Sarge over here was advised on Central.
04:41
I've got Windstream coming. I mean, I've got Swepko coming just to make sure it's not there.

It's a coaxle table, so maybe we just drag it out of the roads all we need to do.
04:50
Yeah, the fire department is dragging our side out right now.
04:54
If it's got a black casing on it, it's going to be windstream, which I think will be the same thing. But yeah, these guys over here in the middle, they're steadily on the phone and looks like with bosses, so it might be all right.
05:10
Maybe they can come help drag it over here off the winter down over there.
