Winter Storm - Galloping Power (and Fiber) Lines
8:16AM February 11, 2021
Galloping power lines are an issue at this time. Galloping will cause flilckers. What causes galloping power lines? High winds and freezing rain cause power lines to gallop. Galloping occurs when freezing rain creates icicles and odd-shaped ice on lines. High winds push on the icicles and lifts lines up, creating a galloping, or jumping, motion.
