Tree downing begins odd incidents in SE neighborhood

A Rube Goldberg-like series of events ended this afternoon with houses in Southeast Portland evacuated and a woman being assisted by the Red Cross, the Portland Fire Bureau said.

Lt. Allen Oswalt, a bureau spokesman, offered this theory of the chain of events:

A tree being cut down in the 3800 block of Southeast 114th Avenue fell onto a power meter, driving a live wire into the ground. That electrified plumbing, melting solder in household pipes and flooding a home.

But Brianne Hyder, a Portland General Electric spokeswoman, thought Oswalt's theory didn't hold water.

According to Hyder, PGE responded after a tree fell onto the power meter of a man's home, knocking out his electricity.

"Across the street, there was a woman who somehow burnt up the service entrance cable to her home" -- a separate line, Hyder said.

PGE technicians told her the woman might have had a water heater problem that led to the flooding.
