- I was doing tower work on Saturday and decided to head for the shack because of cloud-to-cloud lightning. As I put everything away and was walking to the house, a bolt of lightning shot overhead east

- Hi Ford, A large part of the problem is because once an arc is started, a very much lower voltage sustains the arc. Sometimes a breaker actually has to open and reset to stop the system from arcing.

- Ford: That continuous arcing after the bolt of lightning is known as power follow-through. The lightning induces a voltage spike into the power network and arcs over the surfaces of insulators weaken
