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.
The tree that's down was at least as tall as the ones still standing...
The only thing I wonder is if the power company had already fixed the power lines but the cable people hadn't been there yet... but then I thought... the power company certainly would have cut the tree off the cable, just so the poles aren't holding all that weight... wouldn't they?
