Didn't appear to be any injuries at this time, but they did strike a fire hydrant ripping it out of the ground.
00:32
They also struck a cellophane pole or snapped a concrete one,
00:37
that's at the bottom of the rebar.

I'll give it a pole number first if you'd like.

Chopi, do you want the hydrant tag number for Toho?
00:52
No, sorry, go ahead with it.
00:58
Okay, well it's Toho Water, that's what the tag is, but the rest of the tag is ripped off, so I can't find an exact number.

If you want to give them a location, just let us know directly across from the public porch near the address of those...

At 192 and Florence.

It doesn't appear that it's bubbling at this time, but it is ripped up from the bottom of the ground, so I'm sure it's leaking heavily on the ground.
01:26
Oh, so well vice for water.

Reference to the power pole that was hit, is it going to be a big streetlight pole or an actual power pole?
02:07
The answer is yes, it's a concrete barrier pole, it's reinforced at the bottom.
02:13
But the concrete is all busted out.
02:14
The only thing holding it up right now is a rebar.
02:16
Then there's electrical wires internally.
