Oh, "give me a break part," The freezing rains ice up the power-lines. they become heavy and snap, then of course no power, and people parish.
not saying this to be mean, just explaining a variable in the equation.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1252080I guess you've never seen an actual power line, they have them twined around steel cables. Do steel cables snap when they ice up, also? How much ice do you need on a 1/4 inch steel cable to make it snap? Let's say all the ice is in one block in the middle of the span. How heavy does it have to be?
