I...do not understand how electricity works.
@SirEviscerate It's not you. Some headline writer doesn't understand how English works. DOH!

@PariMoonForest @SirEviscerate now hold on a second, the writer didn't say "... *because* a tree falls on an ice cream truck", merely "after" tree falls...

so, allowed, on a technicality?

@pbrane @SirEviscerate
That after sort of infers because of...I used to have to write those headlines, so I'd say no.

@PariMoonForest @SirEviscerate yes, for normal humans, the implication is also "because of", but if we were lawyers we could argue that it *is* true that the power went out "after" the ice cream truck was crushed!

But fine, journalists aren't lawyers, so you win! :)
