of the small one, which is right there in the curve, south of the light house in that stretch.
00:07
Only road I can think that would be 13th and 18th.
00:13
One chain's all.
00:17
We can probably get the little one, but I don't know if we can get the big one or not.
00:24
Yeah, ten four.
00:25
This big one's gonna need a fairly large chain saw to get it cut and clear.
00:30
Ten four.
00:36
Three hundred and nine to 311 , are you on it? You in?
00:44
Go ahead, 309 .
00:46
Hey, whenever you get down there, try to pick an area where there's a county road
00:52
just set up to block it.
00:54
So that way anyone trying to go south, we can either get them to go around or turn around and not get congested down there.
01:04
10-4, you thinking like 1213 or something right there before the lighthouse?
01:09
Yeah, just whatever one's going to be the closest one to it is where I would set up to get them blocked.
01:17
Twelve twenty-four deputies,
01:19
County Road 13 .
01:20
Looking on the map, County Road 13 , County Road 11 will be the two county roads that can be through roads for rerouting traffic until we get this highway back open.
01:31
Ten four. Yeah, three nine to eleven, I'll set up there.
01:37
Ten four.
01:38
1229 to 1224,
01:40
I'll be en route to that down tree from past that river.
01:49
1224 to 1229, did you happen to find a large chainsaw there at the shop?
01:59
1224, I talked to Volunteer Fire Department, they're supposedly bringing one to your location.
02:08
10-4.
02:14
1224, deputies responding to the downed tree.
02:18
I'm gonna head down 13 and get on that south side of the street at 11 and start trying to direct traffic around.
02:24
If they want to keep heading north.
02:37
I believe 311 should be pretty close to you.
02:40
I'm coming into Cove now, so I'm not too far away either.
02:47
10-4. I've got one vehicle that I've talked to.
02:50
I'm taking them over to 13 here, and I'm gonna head south and set up on that south side end because there's quite a few vehicles sitting here on the north end of it.
