My Electric line is laying in my front yard [View all]

Lightning brought down half of my huge pine tree and it brought down my electric line. Luckily it went away from my house, a 75 foot tree.
Borough crew came with a huge front end loader and pushed the tree off my street.
One man electric crew just showed up to hook me back up. The storm had wicked wind.

Going to have to get someone to cut the top of the pine tree down, Lightning gashed the tree.

Hopefully have power soon, feel blessed the tree fell the right way.
