Our lot backs up to another big wooded lot, and on Thursday, a tree I'd been keeping an eye on for a few days finally fell over. It fell right onto the power lines that run down the side of our lot/house.
As soon as I noticed it, I called the power company and reported it.
Someone did come along and cut off the part of the tree that was actually overhanging the street, but the tree itself is still there. It actually looks like it's been cut back two different times now.
There were some firemen pulled over and checking it out yesterday, but I can't see that they did anything to it, really.
Am I way off in thinking that this is an unsafe situation? How long should it be before something like this is corrected?

I should mention that we haven't lost power at all, which is really fortunate, especially given that it's been in the mid-high 90s the past few days. Not having AC is not an option right now.
