You bet! Very glad that no one on the ground was hurt, despite it hitting 4 homes, several cars and a truck that burst into flames. The plane evidently took off the top part of the transmission tower, so the utility people said to expect the power to be out until 5:30 today. We'll try again tomorrow!

Part of the plane hit a day-care center, which fortunately was empty at the time. Puts a power outage in perspective, IMHO. It's annoying, but you and yours are alive and well, and that's the main thing.
