Nothing can compare to actually being there and hearing/seeing a phase-to-ground fault. It's like a canon going off. I'm really surprised that it didn't trip the fuse on the line. Nice vid!

@shizzlefoot oh my, it was loud! i remember this day very well actually. the day after this, i actually became very good friends with the guy who lives across the street of where i took this video :)

it was a very good day. i will not go into detail but it was very good.

i dont want to affound you or anything but that explosion looks fake. If its not or you just want to call me stupid i will apoligize and belive you.

click play and pause really fast around the explosion. its real.

well i wouldnt really call it an explosion but its a big output of electricity causing a huge flame to expel from the burning branch. but that's too long for the title :P

@SkootSucksAtLife "it was a very good day. i will not go into detail but it was very good." Hahaha you got some epic sex on that day, didn't you? Hahaha!

Not bad, good video.. Although; technically they are not explosions but arc flashes.

[crazeejosh]

this video was one of those "i guess you had to be there" type things. the conversation going on was the most entertaining part.

My stupid neighbour is too lazy to cut down branches in font of his house, and every time when strong wind is blowing, we got almost the same scene(not this big). the problem is because of that, the lights are flickering, sometimes cant even turn on my pc, annoying

@SkootSucksAtLife Well you can always call it "Tree branch shorts out powerline causing massive sparking!" or something like that.

I work fo Asplundh and am a powerline tree trimmer and was before that a timmer in Pacific NW WA state and before that was a power line worker in Los ANgeles CA. I have much experience working in on and around this type of situations. Thanks for the post. I will add one thing, When the power ines actually touch together the arc and the noise is greater and defeaning, and the bright light is brighter than even this. WHen there is a cross phase it is much worse than this.

Peace...
