W BTW, to give you some kind of idea how totally ignorant some
W 'experts' can be - look at the ridiculous nonsense from some
W idiot who thinks the utility surges power to burn off
W branches. Far too often, these types pose as knowledgeable.

I would suspect this is a misinterpretation of facts. The branch is
across a power line. At some point it becomes conductive and catches
fire. At the same time a brightening of the lights is noted. The
increase is really due to the branch conducting but misinterpreted as
someone at the power company cranking up the voltage to get rid of the
branch.

(Seems like the fire department would get mad at the power company for
causing all those fires! g)
