Okay, 10-4, yeah, there's a barricade sign out there. Thank you. In service. 10-4 break, tango-4. 30-5, would you call? Negative, I'm calling 10-0-4. Tango-4. Did you advise the barricades are still out on those full run? They're off the side of the road, Tompsey. Okay, 10-4. I was just making sure because they called and told us the roadway was back open. Yeah, roadway's open. The pole that's leaning is broke is an AT&T pole. Can you call there after hours and see if they can get out here before snapping lands on the car? Ten more. The only thing holds it up right now is the guide wire. Tom Center, it's actually a rope tied off to the power pole that's holding this pole up, so they need to be out here ASAP, if they can, please. Is there a poll number or something on that one? Let me look real quick. Yes, let me pull 279. It's one of the old South. polls from years ago, but the number on is 279. 10.4. 7 on the way. 6, same traffic.
