The enviros need to pay attention. If you don't do something, the trees die by the thousands and the deadwood becomes fuel for the next forest fire, which is then out of control from all the fuel, etc. Not only that, the next generation of trees gets infected.
Driving home the other night I saw a movement coming from the hill to my left and slammed on my brakes. Its a little country road all hilly and curvy and it was dark and you get wildlife and I wasn't sure what I saw. After a minute I realized that a beetle killed pine tree had fallen off the hill and been caught by the power line, but that the whole rig was hanging out OVER the road. I looked at it for awhile and then made the decision to go back rather than underneath. Its an area where your cell phone doesn't work, so you couldn't call for help if the thing dropped on top of you.
Joke in the south "a pine tree is toothpicks waiting to happen".
