You reminded me the same conditions prevailed here around the asylum that so far the lunatics haven't taken over. Either a tree branch or broken spacers for years causing slack caused a 4800V secondary to arc blinking the lights and tripping an alarm. Thankfully my computer set to stay off didn't trip out, improper shutdowns cause data corruption that Windblows repairs from backup files at the next (slow) startup.
I wonder if Linux has similar rudimentary system file recovery.
