I tried my cell phone soon after, and it was dead as well. Bluffton was totally out of it for awhile this morning but phone service was restore very quickly. I think I went out to lunch and came back around 1pm and Bluffton phones where back online.

Did you see the images that Indiana News Center used for their story? I sent them my images for a HuntingtonDaily.com plug.

Are you planning on carrying a tablet, video camera, camera, and a pencil 24/7 now? I think the most important is a plug for your phone to post direct to the website. wow. great job with the coverage.

When I asked the people at the scene when the break occured they told me "Just a little bit ago" and that was at about 11:50. I am receiving reports that you are correct that it did happen much earlier than 11:30. I am going to head back to the site here shortly to get an update and will report the findings. Seth jrwskw,

Closer to 9 AM. If trucks are just now getting to the scene at noon, that is outrageous. This happened a lot earlier than you are reporting by all indications. Closer to 9 AM.
