And the prelim report link:

".... Examination of the accident site revealed that the airplane struck a set of power lines and subsequently impacted the yard of a residential home about 1.43 nautical miles east of the approach end of runway 27R....."

That clears up the timeline a bit. The airport light request happened earlier than I had thought. To me, at least, that and the altitudes gives the impression that there was an unreported lower cloud layer and VFR into IMC may have been a factor.

...though that also moves the last crucial link in the chain earlier, which is always uncomfortable to think about.

I think the power lines were on the "telephone poles" on the street where the impact happened. I'm just basing my opinion on the photos I've seen of the accident site.
