I'm out of service on the administrative message to the city of Chesape.

Car force aware.
02:13
I got it to serve at 1304.
02:17
I don't think that it's impinging on the electric.
02:21
The thing that I'm most concerned with is the tree hit the porch.
02:25
There's no electric right there, but it knocked out one of the six-by-sixes.
02:30
And if that rest of that porch comes down, if someone were going on the porch, it could land on them.
02:38
Is there another access into the structure? Because it could be we can just placard just the porch.
02:43
That way they don't have to be displaced if you see there's no electrical impingement.
02:47
There is another access.
02:50
It's behind the house.
02:52
If you could eyeball it, if they can safely make entry in and out of that back access, then we'll just placard the porch and they can stay there.
03:02
I see. I see.
