A transformer sits in the middle of High Point Road. Anyone living beyond this point on the dead-end street -- approximately 50 homes -- is stuck.
Just beyond the downed transformer on High Point Road lies more devastation. Similar scenes are repeated all around town.
This is the scene on South Compo Road near Thomas Road -- not far from last night's fatality at Park Lane.
