Unfortunately I have a very tall pine tree that was hit by lightning in the last thunderstorm we had and it split it down the middle. I can't afford to have it taken down right now and PPL (Penn. Power and Light) won't do anything about it. They tell me they will come out and drop the line so I can have it cut down. I don't have the money to pay anyone and it is too tall for me to do safely myself. I'm worried it won't handle the heavy winds we may get and fall taking my power lines with it. I would think they would want to take at least the top out of it to avoid an outage since I am on a main line. I was planning to take it down but timing is bad. Just have to cross my fingers.
