They were kind enough to move a dump truck in front of the window when a few of the guys expressed their concerns. It was neat to see what they could get done in a day.

Midtowne employee called and told me that the power was our there too. I rode my bike down and passed this crater in the road with the crew working on it. Then all of the reporters from WHSV were on the corner because they were both trying to get the story and figure out how to break into the building (electronic keys + backup generator that won't run =trouble). The police were curtious but would give no information on the situation (including advice on what to do with $2000 worth of frozen/refrigerated product at my store, I just wanted a time line to know if I needed to rush out and buy ice). Thank God, a half of an hour later everything is restored and I calmed down but it made me wonder what would have happened in the event of a real disaster.
