UPDATE: The road was reopened and power restored approximately 8pm
Thursday, 1:30pm – An 18 wheeler carrying a large tank pulled down a couple of poles on Hwy. 105 near Cottonwood (near Hwy 87). The live wires also started a grass fire that was put out by the Orange Fire Dept. Hwy. 105 is shutdown in that area. Over 600 customers including Orangefield Schools were without power. That number was cut to 350 customers after Entergy arrived on scene and rerouted those customers west of Hwy. 62.
