Ouch, ouch, ouch. I wouldn't even know where to begin to fix that mess. Other than cutting power to whatever feeds those lines.

At least all the dangerous trees have been self-trimmed, so you shouldn't experience quite this level of damage for many years. Spoken by someone who saw the power companies in Michigan trim trees along their right-of-way 30 years behind their own published schedule.

You can get away with that when the state regulatory agencies are run by RATs. They always "fight" for the little guy (the only kind of "fighting" they do) if there's anything left after schmoozing with the evil companies they're supposed to regulate.

Great pics!! OB was just looking at 'em and sighed, "lots of board feet in those logs". Can take the man out of the forest, but not the forester out of the man :-)
