Here's a wind storm puzzler...

The tree fell from the right-hand side of the road... Here's my questions....

How did it get hung up on the lower line (which is cable) and not on the upper lines (which are power and telephone)

Why didn't whoever cut it off the road cut it again on the other side of the cable to get it off the cable?

Don't know about why it didn't get the other lines...height of the tree...force of the fall...dunno.

It could be that the highway folk just cleared the road and are leaving the rest to the cable people. That's not uncommon.

After Isabel, folks did enough to clear the roadways. Utilities were working for weeks and months to restore lines.

They've got satellite?

Weird... that's sort of a cool picture.

Was it actually cut off or was the tree already broken at that length? If it was not much bigger than the other cables might have caught only slightly and then pulled free as it went down. That or aliens came and placed it on just that wire so they could cut service to the person they wanted to abduct.
