BWL, it hardly counts if there wasn't a fire associated with the falling limb. I wish I'd seen the show when my hackberry sagged into my Afghan pine, the slow-motion slumping limb putting pressure on the hot wire and small branches burning through and dropping to the ground. The hackberry was so tangled in the pine that they had to take turns cutting pine then hackberry to finally clear the lines. You can't tell anything happened to that big old hackberry but the pine looks like a bottle brush that was left too close to a burner on the stovetop - instead of melted plastic bristles it's just a line of stobs left after the branches were lopped.
