The end of a fallen tree is flung into the air as Tyler Barnaby, of Green Mountain Power, cuts it free, releasing the tension on utility lines on Hillside Road in Quechee, Vt., on Monday, Jan. 27, 2025. The tree fell onto the wires in windy conditions and left 85 customers temporarily without electricity shortly after power was restored from another outage nearby. (Valley News - James M.
