That's some dead ends out there.

He said it was down at the end of that dead end there.
00:56
Looks like we have a tree down in the front of here.
00:59
Not sure if the power lines are down.

Okay, my guess from weather point is it's going to be down on that dead end past that tree.

Just be careful of any live wires down.

They said the transformer popped, caught on fire.

They're not sure what's going on now.
02:04
Yeah, that makes sense because this house here on Rogers is without power, so it's coming in from the point down.
02:11
So I'm guessing it's power line down.
