No Power For Seven Hours: Truck Pulls Down Power Lines, Snaps Utility Poles
February 7, 2018
About 30 Gulf Power company customers were without power for hours Tuesday in the Perdido Lake Road area of Cantonment when a sanitation company boom truck contacted power lines. The boom then pulled down wires and snapped multiple utility poles about 2:30 p.m., according to reports.
Power was restored by 10 p.m.
Additionally, cable and telephone lines were reported to be downed. There were no injuries.

Saw that happen. Almost got me as well.
Gulf Power did a good job, considering what a mess it was.
It took Spectrum till this morning to figure out what is going on after multiple calls from neighbors.
