Is this dangerous or am I being dramatic
There’s this little tree branch still attached to the tree that’s resting across these 2 powerlines. The line you see in the middle of the branch is above and it’s not touching. I know that in the right circumstances an entire tree and surrounding soil and be electrified and this is right next to the sidewalk and the base of the tree is in someone’s yard. I don’t know if I need to call someone or if it’s actually completely fine and I’m just being paranoid. I’m not even sure if this is the right sub for this so if there’s a better place pls lmk.
Brisbane, Australia if that matters
