A severe storm in McKinney caused this mature tree to fail at the trunk and collapse across the roadway. The tree became entangled in overhead power lines, creating an immediate hazard for residents, vehicles, and nearby property.
When storm damage involves power lines, the priority is safety and coordination:
- Keep people and vehicles away from the area
- Treat all wires as energized
- Coordinate with the utility provider when required
- Use controlled removal methods to prevent further damage
