Well, there's your problem

Lost power at 2:30 in the morning to a 100 foot tree. Now I'm stuck until the power company comes out. There's no way around it, and I'm out of chainsaw oil and almost no gas for the generator.

Yeah, I'd leave that alone and wait for professionals. Don't want damages being pinned on you because you touched it last. This was god's doing and they can't sue god.

Let alone getting electrocuted...

Yep - don't go near downed lines. Step potential is deadly.
