Two loud explosions rang out in the Fondren business district just before lunch; the culprit, it seems was a semi truck taking out some power lines behind McDade's Market in the Woodland Hills shopping center. (The pole, which split in two, backs up to Brown's Fine Art and St. Luke United Methodist Church.) Power was out in many businesses in the adjacent shopping centers, as well as across the street at the Fondren post office.

Sure would be nice if those power lines were underground!
