    That happened in the small town I grew up in once. It only blocked the street for an hour or two because the people who were trapped by it didn’t wait around for the city to come take care of it; they busted out chainsaws and took care of it themselves.

    Downed powerline was worse. Remember trying to go somewhere during a storm at night and I stop for a cop car in the middle of the cuts blocking the road and the cop comes up to the window and tells me to back up some and as I am about to ask why, the downed powerline I didnt see starts sparking and arcing all over the road super close to my car. “Oh shit, yeah I’m just gonna go the other way lol.”
