Damn!

I saw all kinds of crazy power line shit growing up. We lived across the street from the most trouble prone transformer in the county. Constantly blowing up, catching on fire, even fell off the pole once.

I saw something similar to this when I was a young kid during an ice storm. It was crazy.

Crazy. Lucky no one got hurt.

I seen them blow up, but I have never seen them travel down the line like that. That was cool.
