Thankfully, no injuries occurred, but local business owners like David Anderson at Syndicate Wine Bar stepped up to direct traffic before crews arrived. Utility teams are now de-energizing lines and clearing debris, with traffic control expected through early Saturday morning. It’s a stark reminder of how quickly one incident can ripple through a tight-knit community — and how resilient people can be when things go sideways.
