These people need to have these vehicles that are in the roadway moved to get it opened up.
00:05
We've got the ones that were stuck out.
00:09
So.
00:29
Well, I don't know, I'm just waiting for the guy that lives in residence.
00:35
I talked to him, he was pretty straightforward.
00:37
He didn't like that they were blocking the roadway either.
00:39
He didn't know.
00:40
They walked out here a while ago.
00:42
So he's just going to try to figure out who belongs to what car and get them to move.
00:49
Okay, you down there where they haven't been able to deal with it? Yeah, I'm kind of stuck down here now because there's a bunch of cars back behind me.
00:59
But they're trying to go forward and that's not happening.
01:07
A lot of cars out here.
01:15
I'll head your way 13.
01:19
Yeah, I kind of figured it would be.
01:22
Just holler at me, you knew to come that way.
01:26
I talked to him about anybody shooting firearms and stuff and I was seeing some lights and he said, ain't nobody shooting out here, so I said, well, they don't need to be because somebody could hurt something.
01:39
So right now it's just the issue of the park and everything else is calm.
01:52
It's the only difference on being forced to send at the Civic Center.
01:58
Yeah, it's probably better.
02:01
19, if you go down the paved road back here from Woodford Electric, go all the way down, hang the right,
02:08
and cut back up on this road, come in from the north side,
02:13
and just start telling them, if they start moving that away, tell them they've got to get off the one side that's open for them to get in and out.
02:26
Down this road pulling in.
02:30
And 16, if you're coming, come in on the south side and start telling the ones back out there, they're in the street, and there's no way to come through, they need to move it.
02:41
Jim Far.
02:56
Get me up there on 633.
03:02
Negative, standby.
03:05
16 County.
03:10
Go ahead.
03:12
Can you advise whatever power company runs down Highway 70, they got a line down across 219 right here where you turn off Highway 70?
03:26
Kind of power line down,
03:29
right here on 219, my left to see turn off 70.
03:35
10.4, you'll probably have to shut with it.
03:38
813 is out here with us right now.
