CrabAppleLane Power Line - September 1, 2008 8:40AM
First image. Sorry it's not very dramatic. Gustav is approaching. The winds have picked up and the rain is coming down in sheets. That pine branch pictured above survived Katrina but it has grown out another 5 or 6 feet since then. That's the power line and the internet cable pictured below it. I don't have cable internet any more so I don't care about it but I am concerned about the power line. That branch is too high for me to trim back but I should have had that taken care of. I will if it survives Gustav.
Oh my. Yup, too late to do anything about it... but I bet you're gonna lose power.
:-(
The power line was yanked out of our brick wall during Katrina by a flying branch. You'd think the power company might have routed the line OVER that branch but I suppose they didn't have time. I'm not complaining. A downed power line may get them out here faster than they otherwise would have come. :)
