  3. Saw a substation go up with an arc like this one, one night driving out of Houston. You could see the light from quite a few miles away, but up close, it was something, as was the noise. Not sure what the problem was, but the arc kept going for quite a while, coming up to it and passing it. Far, far brighter than the sun. Difficult to drive around it, it was so bright - you couldn't see anything else.
