Stay away from 'em!: Stay away and if it's possible that the power company has not been informed (an isolated area) call them to advise. This will prevent you having a medical question to ask here. It is good to have people know this - so thanks for asking even if it's not a medical question.

Call for help: Leave the power lines alone, make sure everyone stays away from them, and try to notify your local police, fire, Sheriff or Highway patrol. Never approach them and keep children, animals, and people far away.

Dangling power lines: Dangling power lines after Hurricane, fallen powerlines, and trees on the dangling power lines are risk to yourself, your family and the community. •Please do not go nearby. •Tell your family and neighbors not to go nearby. •Immediately call Utility Company, police ,highway patrol, and local officials to inform them the location, and the problem including dangling power lines. •Life is Precious!
