[wow1022]

somebody's pulling way the hell too much power

[wamaweur]

Over 50 hours without power? Was it not possible to reroute the power (or using a generator)

so that you did have electricity? The longest time i did not have electricity was aprox. 7 hours (replacement meter and wires to the meter (maintenance to avoid problems later)).

[whatsnextnow19791]

@wamaweur They just recently, within the last month finished fixing the real problem. I found out what happened here in this video recently as well. I guess they had 2 transformers for 79 houses. They just put in about 6 poles and more tranformers. Plus three lines at the top now raising and eliminating the lowers. They tried to rig it a few times before and thats why and what caused it to boil as seen in this video.

[wamaweur]

@whatsnextnow19791

I think that you are right. Now it is a more logic reason for the time that you did not have electricity.

@whatsnextnow19791 The city I live in, we had a transformer problem in December 2009. We had a black-out for 1 WEEK! It was crazy! Oh, also across the STREET still had power. Luckily, we had a kerosene heater to keep our house warm.

[linemanbiermann]

@whatsnextnow19791 no possible way 2 transformers were running 79 house

[tall32guy]

Those are big ol things! That new one is almost as tall and big as the electric worker standing by it. LOL

The video you responded to gives the following message "This video is no longer available because the uploader has closed their YouTube account. "

[23chilled]

what kind of cam and mic system are you using? the sound quality and vid are very good.

[whatsnextnow19791]

@23chilled JVC Everio. It was a good camera. Better than my new one. Not sure the model at this second. They are currently working on running primaries through. And more new transformers. Apparently they had 79 houses on 2 of those type transformers. Which apparently they are supposed to have a dozen. I have the leader ropes tied to my fence at this very moment. I may do another video soon or when they finish?

[gent2000]

geez

[bordersoldier]

look out its going to rain PCBs!!!!

[jchambers2586]

@bordersoldier There is no PCBs in mineral oil.

[MrGerbilBrain]

Ah it looks as if the wire just beyond the bushing closest to the camera was detached, and arcing about inside. Amazed that no air was inside or BOOM!

[whatsnextnow19791]

@MrGerbilBrain The two across the street blew about a month before that. A huge tree fell on the wires so it was all over. Boom! Boom! Those flashes coverered about 1,000 feet of ground in blue. I felt it in my room at the window, the hair stood up on my arms just a little. I was looking directly at a trnsformer when one blew up when I was about 12. It was right down the block.

[jamahurin]

That was creepy. Have I mentioned how much I hate power lines? I also hate the fact that we get charged for something that we could all have free access to with no power lines. If only our puppet, corporate owned government would release the technology.

[whatsnextnow19791]

@jamahurin I know there is this one machine that supplied a town with electricity through the static in the air. This device collected it and powered everyone for free. There is a guy in florida that cant get a patent but can sell you the machine or plans for it. There are much better ways. Tesla got ganked so we lose that battle. We could have ran everything through the air no wires.

[gailgrove]

@jamahurin You are an idiot, that's all I can say.

[galegregory97comcast]

it can blow sky hi but most of the time thy just burn up paint and all gone lol

[whatsnextnow19791]

@infomorgue Thank god for jump starters and crank lights and radio. Water, not a problem surprisingly with it being the coldest. The water main has broke around here in several spots 2 times recently it affected us. Thats what really sucks. I hate not being able to shower especially when the electrics out. Normaly it comes back on right away, we just unplug a few things and then back to normal in no time. This time reminded me of the eastern seaboard blackout. I just hope it's fixed now.

[galegregory97comcast]

ITS GOT OIL IN IT IT WAS ARKING IN SIDE

[whatsnextnow19791]

@galegregory97comcast Could it have blown?

[61shirley]

exciting stuff, would have loved to have seen it blow

[whatsnextnow19791]

@61shirley 2 across the street did about 3 months ago. I could feel it just slightly from several hundred feet away. The flashes lit up the streets all around them up to at least 1,000 feet away. Very bright! I seen that happen when I was younger as well, but that one I seen straight on from down the block. Loud as hell! No sound like it.

[61shirley]

@whatsnextnow19791 i bet that was ace to see
