Hurricane Matthew Exploding And Burning Power Lines - 10/7/2016 

Nothing better than arc's & Sparks & a very loud boom

The spark explosion are looking so pretty.

I did cleanup efforts for Hurricane Ian, and it definitely changes the way you look at storms and even your own life. When you see it on RU-vid your initial reaction is “Oh damn, that sucks”, but when you actually step into that zone where people were impacted, it hits deep. And it hits hard. I was working for P.E.R.T for rescue and clean up efforts, 3am -9pm. Saved a family.

I'm curious if most of this was foreign objects (branches, debris) creating arc faults, or if most of these arc faults were due to conductor gallop strictly because of the winds.

This is some of the best footage of this phenomenon I’ve seen yet. I think this is how the fires in Maui started. Thanks for sharing!

Some good footage there!

My brother lives in near Jacksonville, FL. He was stationed there when he was serving in the Navy the last five years of his twenty years, he’s retired but he doesn’t want to move back where most of our family lives in California, him and his wife and daughter love it there, but our mom worries when they have hurricanes but my brother and his family are still safe and reassures mom that they’re all good and safe. It just looks scary! I like to watch a good lightning show, whenever we actually get one in California... we all oooh and aww! Lol 😉⚡️⛈

Thanks DEMO VIDEO NOT FOR BROADCAST.

Matthew was a slow mover. I’m in coastal South Carolina region and that was the longest night/day of my life. Not sure but it seemed like a good 12-14 hours at least before the winds began to die down. Isaias was a fast mover, it lasted only 3-4 hours for me.

Out of curiosity, so the power line actually carry the whole towns power

As fire, spark & sound what a great sound

That flash look like Lightning

I thought they cut power to cities just prior to hurricanes, for this reason

That last one was on fire.

Why didn’t the power companies turn off the power?

Did you lose power

Florida Power & Light (FPL) will do this type of work after the hurricane.

SPECIAL MOVIE EFFECTS! ✌️✌️👏👏🙌

crazy

Why are the power lines sparking ? For I never see that hear in California is it the winds or the rain hitting the lines

This look like just cause 4 with power lines exploded

wow crazy !!! that is so frightening

Don't ever look at an electric arc. They can blind you in an instant.

It wasn't that bad when it hit new symerna

0:33 wow flash of powerlines

looks creepy

Good

cellular radio alive?

I know storm chasers provide a useful service but just for me, personally, lol, if I ever went out during a storm at night just to watch exploding transformers, please make an appointment for me at the nearest psychiatrist's office so we can figure out what has gone wrong in my life.

Easy to repair powerlines never paid off!!!

Wow 😯

Wow! How shocking!

Why was there no cars

Hurricane mutual assistance of power companies from around the country to go to Florida.

hi

That’s scary

TAMBEM OS CABEÇAO NUM POE PELO MENOS UM FIO COM CAPA

I wouldn't get close to a powerline on the ground bud. that's High voltage

Those are called Electrical ARCS. Not flashes.

LMFAO
