3.0.310. 310. To speedby, if I'm getting calls for no power on Coom Street as well. Excuse. Over on World War Court here, I'm not seeing which transformer is the one that blew. There are some people reporting no power here. I don't know if you just advise. National Guard to just come check it out. There's no safety hazards at this time. Not seeing any risks or safety hazards. Quote 5. Someone has just stated that the explosion came from behind World War Court, so if you want to just have National Bridge check their property at 212 Main Street. There's like a little site here. I'm not sure if it took place within there or not. Full number 14 on Main Street appears to have some significant corrosion on it. I'm pretty sure that's the going to be the involved transformer. You could pull number 1414.
