So are you saying a Power Line down around 4-6PM in the afternoon in a public park would not be a number one priority? Or damn near close to a number one priority?
To make it clear, its reported that the power line being down was relayed to the power company and the fire dept around 3-4PM.
He said nothing of the sort. He merely pointed out that there is a possibility, perhaps a very good one, that there were other things that the power company deemed as greater priority than a downed line in a park.
Let's try to keep a little bit of perspective here.
If this power line was the only emergency that the power company had to attend to between the time it was reported and the time the victim encountered it, then yes, it's outrageous that it hadn't been taken care of and the power company should be held responsible for what is gross negligence.
But if this power line was one of a dozens, if not hundreds of other issues that the power company was dealing with in the aftermath of the storm, then no, it really isn't that outrageous that it was still down after 12 hours.
We don't yet know exactly what the circumstances were. We're all assuming more than we probably should. That's all KniceZ was trying to say.
