None of us spare much thought for the power lines looming over our heads as we cruise down the streets of Anytown, USA, but drivers in Sandusky, Ohio, were reminded this week of how much power if flowing through those unassuming black cables. A storm severely damaged some power lines and brought traffic to a screeching halt by showering a busy intersection in sparks and flames.
Video of the incident, which was captured by a police cruiser, shows an initial burst of electricity lighting up the sky and startling drivers. A short while later, things got even more intense as the damaged lines sent sparks cascading onto the wet pavement below.
