Yeah, the branch that took the wire down is minimal and it's not affecting the wire.

The house drop pulled right off the connections going into the conduit.

Looks like the conduit's intact to the meter box, but the wires where they connect to the house have been pulled off.

31, we just got a call for a.
04:38
And Chipper, I don't need you up here.
04:40
There's no tree blocking.
04:41
It was a small limb.
04:42
The limb's actually in the yard.
04:44
It's just the house service that has come down, pulled off the connections to the house.
04:49
Rhode Island Energy may be able to put this back together without too much difficulty.
04:53
But the road is impassable until they do that.
