Here in NW NJ, plenty of electric still on the ground.
Kind of what systems guys call "denial of service"
Anyway, there's one in my yard, on the grass.
I happened to be looking out the window last Mondayt when it broke, a full shower of sparks.
Called JCP&L that afternoon.
They pretty much said "don't call us, we'll call you"
Nobody stopped by to look at it.
Since the power is off at my house, does that mean that the line is completely dead??

I don't have any interest in touching the power line,
but I do have that Irish Setter.
Usually I let him out at night by himself, he comes right back.
but with that line on the ground, not certain what is going on with that.
Have to keep him on a leash right now. Probably be going on like this another week.

Any electricians out there, have facts about downed power lines?

thanks
