I have either 7200v or 14.4kv (not sure which) lines running up my 1000 ft long driveway with a transformer 50 ft from my house. There are probably 50 trees pushed up hard against the wires. No arcing. I wonder why this one let go. 27.6kv lines? Higher? Something particularly conductive about that tree?

Maybe it's Ironwood

That last POP before they drop the camera seems to say "response time this, Karen."
