Hi Roy- this is important information for all of us. There were many downed power lines here after our recent hurricane.

Downed power lines are a serious danger.  It's important to know how to stay safe when it happens.

Hi Roy... I live where power lines are buried, but we are still surrounded by open powerlines... and when we have storms that can down them we are always hearing warning... something too many people ignore.
