I hired nice tree company who accidently brought down a 15,000 volt
main line. people could of been killed including me.
explosion, street had to be blocked off, power out for a couple hours.
the tree companies insurance reportedly paid 15 grand, for power
company, and cable company emergency generators to keep the cable amps
working.
I had planned to go and direct traffic, the crew was one worker short.
I would of been standing where the lince contacted the asphalt street.
the burn mark was on that street for years till it was repaved
