During dinner, Reena saw a third of our tree in front slowly fall to the side. Because I was facing the side of the house, I missed the show and heard only the quiet sound of a branch cracking. The limb, if a third of a tree can be called that, miraculously landed on the sidewalk missing several cars, the house, and anything else valuable. It did dent the hedge, but that is easily remedied. However, the whole thing was hanging from the wires both to the house and between the two poles on the street. We called NSTAR, the local power company, and a friendly but distant representative said that people were on the way. I then called the City of Cambridge Dept of Public Works. Wow! They got someone out here right away, got the cogs moving to get the NSTAR crew out quickly, and are about to show up with a chipper to clear away the debris. Everyone involved was very polite and professional. I am thoroughly impressed. I think I hear the chipper pulling up right now!
Yep, chipped and gone in about 20 minutes.
Super Duper job.

Very cool! We had a large branch break a year or so ago, but it was all on private property and not involving wires, so it was all up to us. Our arborist did a great job, and we paid a fairly great amount for it. :)
