This morning I noticed that electricity was arcing from the wires to a tree directly in front of my house. This isn't good and what we (in the electronics industry) like to call a "fire hazard".
I called FPL to report it as per their instructions and I was told "someone will come out and look at it within 21 days".
Um, what? 21 days?
I kept my cool and just said "So, if it catches fire and burns down my house I can have my lawyer call you about is?" Of course, the rep said "Well, if it's been happening a while then chances are it won't catch on fire".
Odd, I didn't say it has been doing on for a while, in fact it was very noticeable this morning and I haven't noticed it before. We haven't had much rain so all the plants are very dry.
Of course, we can't have someone cut it back (for obvious reasons) so now we have to sit and wait for "up to 21 days" to have someone even look at it.
