This a tree you DO NOT want to hug. It’s a tree that has fallen on or next to a
power line. About one out of five
unplanned power outages in America are caused by trees and other vegetation
growing too close to power lines. High
winds in Northern Nevada can (and often do) cause trees to fall on lines of
communication.
Trees and electricity don’t mix! Just having a tree growing too close to a
power line is a source of great potential danger. There is the risk of fire in dry
conditions. Electricity can travel from
the top of the tree directly to the ground.
Obviously, those that touch such foliage are subject to shock and even
electrocution.
