Dad told me this story the day after it happened;
Dad was cutting down the tree next to the tree house. Climbing out onto the tree to get to the far reaching branches. Rich Clifford came out and said "Chet you had better be careful, some of those branches look like they will hit that power line".
when telling the story dad said this "I couldn't see the power line so I thought I was OK." apparently forgetting he was legally blind he forged on.
Dad continued to cut down the tree despite the warning. Dad cut down the largest trunk just above the tree house landing. It slid down the trunk hitting him in the head and falling to the ground severing the power line. Dad a little dazed heard a new sound coming from the ground. He climbed down the tree house and then saw the end of the power line on the ground dancing.
He later stated "they charged me 900 bucks to fix that... It would have been cheaper to have the tree cut down professionally."
