@WeaponsVault So funny that this is still circulating the globe. It’s a few years old but hey - when you’re a legend……🤠
#TX Advisory - @DukeEnergy power lines were pulled down by a grove goat piece of machinery working along Mammoth Grove Road in Lake Wales - that roadway west of Camp Mack Rd is shut down until further notice. Please use alternate routes.
