This pole looks an awful lot like the trees around here, it's snapped into at least three pieces! There was an OV-15 on this pole according to Streetview.
ouch! man i wonder how much the lines sparked when they came down or if the power was already out before it broke. any poles that had transformers on them probably went down like this. and yet the signals stay lit like nothing happened lol.
It would've been something to see these come down, too bad it was in the middle of the day so there wouldn't have been a big flash in the sky. These lines are all still down though they have started to clean up the mess today. Power is still out in a few of the older neighbourhoods with overhead lines and lots of trees. Other than that power is pretty much back up in Brampton, the damage to trees meanwhile is going to take a LOT longer to cleanup. Speaking of videos, this is pretty impressive!
These poles had it coming to them. They were very old!
