We have outages here in the Monadnock Region, with white pine boughs all over the roads and power lines. This is a doozy!

Same in greater Nashua region. I’ve got a guy in a pickup truck monitoring the lines on my street. We’re out of power. Road is basically one lane with all the limb drops. Because people need to have their scenic drive and no one wants to give asplundh permission to trim the braces on their stretch out the road.

Utilities can trim trees near lines without permission and are supposed to do it on a regular basis.

However, that costs Eversource money - and we can't have that poor company going bankrupt!

If you have lines on your street that have overhanging branches, you can call them. If you have enough neighbors calling they will eventually send someone to take a look at it.

Replacing exploded transformers costs more money. You'd think they would know this.

Getting huge branches off the pine trees, have not hit anything critical yet.

Have had about 6-7 HUGE pine branches snap off on or near my house today. It’s been a nightmare scenario
