I know I know it's not funny. I looked around, checked everything. I didn't feel like climbing and limbing it first though... It was heavy on the southeast side of the tree, I wanted it to fall Northwest. I cut a biggggg notch, used the wedge and kept working it. Eventually, it let go and a badddd thing happened... It fell right where I didn't want it to. I thought it'd clear the lines, but it didn't. In the video you can hear the buzzing from the arcing... This is actually pretty funny. Althoughhhhhhhhh, I was VERY lucky the lines didn't come down and leave a live lead on the ground. This was a near miss for sure. Next time I will climb it and do it the right way.
