Baja St. Martin

At least some of Belle River was without communication July 2 after a truck somehow knocked down at least 3 or 4 power Poles right in front of Ochsner Hospital in Morgan City. There wasn’t much about it on the computer other than a picture of a big truck with wires draped all over and poles lying everywhere. No info on how it happened, what truck did the deed, what happened to the driver and/or truck, how it happened. The one photo I’ve seen on my computer is accompanied by quite a few, shall we say, pithy comments! One person said, “How the ***** could a truck knock down four poles at once?” Good question!

My iphone works but my neighbor has a flip phone which just tells him no network service. Another neighbor has an iphone which seems to be working like mine. Not at all sure how this phone stuff works. I did hear that much of Morgan City is without communication but everybody seems to have power.

Like I say, I really don’t know much but I would guess since the accident happened practically in the hospital itself, the repairs would be pretty swift. The little news I did get says the highway is blocked off so you may be stuck in Morgan City.
