19,000V Power Line Arcing

3 months after I uploaded this. . .
I changed the voltage because I thought it was 13kv but it was 19kv.

oui oh OH DEAR 11:14
Well this just happened!
The powerline arced 6 times, I got 4 of them in this video!

The arcs didn't last very long since there's a recloser just down the road that kept tripping.
That's why the arcs stopped while the branch was still on the wire.

This is the first time I've seen a powerline arcing in person!

0:00-0:52 my first reaction to the damaged wire
0:53-1:07 1st arc
1:35-1:45 2nd arc
2:33-2:40 3rd arc
3:51-4:04 4th arc
6:00-7:00 opening the cutout and disconnecting the tap
7:01-7:31 lineman trimming the tree
7:32-7:59 lineman removing damaged lightning arrestor
8:00-9:59 connecting tap and closing in cutout
10:00-10:10 getting the lightning arrestor
10:11-10:40 pictures of the lightning arrestor
10:41-11:14 slowmos
11:15-11:29 oui oh, oh dear

I don't want this in a compilation without my permission, ask to use this!
