Rain and wind took down a neighbor's oak tree which took down their power and cable connections. Quick work with the chain saw allowed the power and cable utilities to reconnect the lines.

#photography #stormdamage #oak #tree
Big oak tree split at the base and laying over on the ground. There is an aluminum ladder leaning against the tree branch. A brown utility pole is surrounded by fallen oak tree branches. A coil of broken cable and power lines lies at the base of the pole. After cutting the branches the broken cable is clear and ready for the power utility to repair the line. With the tree branches cut back, the utility pole is clear now.
