Plus, to the previous commenter that talked about “suicide cords”: they’’re more correctly termed “homicide cords”:
“ The lineman killed yesterday was working for Pike Electric and picked up a line that was connected to someones house that hooked up a generator and did not disconnect from the distribution system. The linemans name was Ronnie Adams, age unknown. He had
two children and a wife. As far as I know he was from Louisiana. They are trying to set up a fund for his family, but nothing I have heard of yet. I will let yall know more as I hear of it. I wish they would really teach folks the proper connection of generators,
this was a really tragic and preventable accident. Stay Safe and think about it before you do it.”
