Video from Columbus, Ohio, shows a tree branch catching fire after getting caught in a power line. A wind gust during heavy storms in the area reportedly reached 82 miles per hour.

Video like this is a brutal reminder why power companies need better tree-trimming programs, especially in areas that get these severe summer storms. Hope everyone’s staying safe in Columbus and the outages get fixed fast

They asked Baal for a sign, and he sent them one on line. It was just like Moses but inadvertently inverted. The burning bush branched out, catching fire from the depths of hell. Baal whispered, ‘Dr Jesus Twump, remember, remember the 18th of November for my Baalroom.’

This is a serious reminder of how dangerous storms and damaged power lines can be. Stay clear of fallen or damaged lines and report them to the appropriate authorities.

Storms hitting Columbus with those kind of wind speeds make utility failures almost inevitable once trees start tangling with the grid.

I hope there won't be too many losses.
