A loud crack..like a bolt of lightning.

Glad I wasnt up there taking sunrise pictures this morning. Shorted to ground on the tower, huge arc flash and boom!! And then a phase arc rolling down the wires to the switchyard blowing insulators off each tower as it went past.
Will be a few days before we make any electricity again.
