Columbia,sc thunderstorms july 2008

What happened? Wind from the storm likely blew a tree branch down onto a power line breaking the line and allowing it fall to the ground. This leads to at least 7200 volts shorting directly to the ground leading to a nice light show and a nice headache for the utility company. :)
