Dispatch from Galesburg, 1090. Okay, we have a power line arcing in a tree near Burgess Drive. This was reported to consumers a couple of months back after the storm. There's a tree that tipped over and was laying on it. They were requested to trim it at that time, and apparently they haven't done. So there's nothing we can do with it, so just turn it over to them.
