Nice when someone is generous like that, and is ok without any consequences on their end for doing so. I've had good experiences with the power company forestry contractors locally, usually the same people too.
I have an old poplar that got nailed about 1:30am April 27 2011, somehow I remember these things, some odd ball weather system came in that night woke me up, and I saw the bolt that hit this tree, some 300+ yards away.
