Vehicles can get through but be alert for changes if you are driving through the area.
Note: Because of idiocy on the author’s part, the original title read “Tree Into Power Lines on Briceland Road.” We’ve changed that to reflect that we don’t know whether this is a phone or power line (though we suspect phone line).

🕯Good morning Kym and thank you for the info and updates they are well received.
Did anyone contact PG&E and let them know?
Kym~A good definition of an idiot is one who never recognizes their error. I think the word you were searching for is “human”.
Kym,
*We’re changed that to..”
Coffee time!
PS, I agree with AClarcks analysis.
Sigh…fixed. Can you tell I’m running short on sleep.
Generally a reporter, investigative journalist, blogger and site moderator are positions held by 3 people at least.
You having little sleep is assumed, every day – because it seems you hold all those titles.
Don’t forget janitor (fortunately not much office space), ad manager (again, not too much there either) and secretary. My favorite job though is getting to find out what is happening.
I think I may have to hug that thought to me today. I seem to be on a collision course with writing this morning.
You’ll know which it is. If no one comes to take care of it until the line is on the ground, it’s a phone line. If someone does show up fairly fast, it’s a power line. Cynicism asside, the fat lines are usually phone and cable. The thin lines power.
Kym, it is very unusual to lose the phone when a tree goes down here on Briceland-Thorn Road. Even when we lose power, the land line always works. And my phone and electric are both working this morning in Thorn.
The advice above is good: this being a fat cable, and also with no stand-off from the pole confirms it as AT&T phone. If a couple of locals call to advise AT&T there is a stretched cable they will schedule someone to deal with it next week, hopefully before it breaks.
🕯No matter what you always try your best to keep us informed and updated and most of us appreciate it, thank you Kym.
