A couple of weeks ago we were vacationing on Sanibel Island, FL and, one morning, the power went out for about 45 minutes. No big deal, we figured island power is likely iffy anyway.
It turns out that the cause was a professional tree trimmer was electrocuted while trimming branches ABOVE a power line. The limb he cut fell onto an energized line and that carried power back to the tree, killing him.
