Hey Dusty, just give you a heads up.
00:23
I've got law backing up for the traffic, so it's not so congested where you're at,
00:29
as well as they're sending an officer over to near Co Rd 46 and Co Rd 15 to make sure traffic doesn't come down this way.
00:37
And I haven't got any updates from Xcel's EPA.
00:43
That's not good, like that we got one branch of connecting two wires and makes me feel like that line is dead and then another one that looks like it's damaged.
00:53
So I don't know if we have another burst or the ground.
00:57
I believe they're dead,

but I cannot follow out the transformer or any breakers to show that they fully blown.
