Much Of Flomaton, Including Schools, Loses Power
May 17, 2010
A portion of Flomaton was without power this afternoon after a county employee accidentally cut a power line on Old Atmore Road.
The county maintenance employee was using a tractor-mounted side arm telescoping cutter to trim brush about 12:30 when he accidentally severed the power line. He was not injured.
The schools on Highway 31 were among those without power.

They were VERY lucky – it happened next to my house and God was with all of the workers….I thank God that noone was hurt – it could have been a real ugly situation! Thanks to the Escambia Co. Sheriff’s Dept – they arrived very shortly after I called 911.
I’m sure the county employee had his guardian Angel with him.
He is very lucky that he didn’t get electricuted, close call… Hopefully everyone has their power back on now.
