The power affected a lot more people than that. And it didn’t come back on until approximately 6:30.
It was over 2300 people and some peoples didn’t come back until far after 6:30! A big thank you to the dumba** who caused this in a single car crash what great driving!!! And to the crew who “fixed” it, y’all really milked the clock on that one to get all the overtime you could. A big ** to both the driver and crew.
