That was good of you to stop and help.
Yes, you might see something that looks similar to this if there was an accident. Fortunately this time, they are trying to get ahead of possible bad weather. Trying to keep the tree limbs from interfering with the power lines.
Heavy rains usually knock down trees, I know what that's like.
I hope everything is fine and that the people responsible did a great job.
If they didn't do a good job, they will have a much harder job to do after the next storm. :)
