Hurricane Power Line Clips

[c0rrupts3ct0r555]

those people have guts to be driving under those low lying lines... you dont know if they are energized or not... that'd be scary to me VERY scary. better to be safe than sorry

[666Xeon666]

Put the lines in the ground, more expensive but much safer 8)

They have been putting more of them underground these days; but can't in most areas of S. Florida because the ground water table is only a few feet under the surface. Very few areas are more than 8 ft. above sea level. In this video probably only 4 ft. above sea level.

But a bigger pain to fix when some thing goes wrong.

I get why some places in the US hang traffic lights from wires or on polls across the road, considering that is the EASIEST way to be destroyed by storms!

[mohkfry]

@abc467 Actually, It is proven that pole installations are MORE hurricane resistant than span wire installs.

humankind ie, us, the people, willnever be able to PREVENT disasters by mother nature, dummies

i remember Andrew and 1 image stays in my head and was when the national guard stopped a couple from looting blockbuster.

[ibook133]

Those poles are only held in the ground by soil for the most part, they should have something else for anchorage.

[tall32guy]

Crazy crap man! I may be a wimp but I'd be SO afraid to even drive under the power lines so low to the ground, much less the hurricane itself! LOL

[extremeweatherguy]

It is always interesting to me to see clips showing just how vulnerable our modern infrastructure really is to the power of nature. Thanks for posting this!

Strong prevention is not a good business for the rich, govs and companies. We do nothing against catastrophes until it actually happens.
