🚨IMPORTANT PSA🚨

The storm a couple nights ago caused an uncommon, but NOT impossible, situation when a broadband support strand snapped, made contact with a secondary electric line, then draped to the ground.

When the metal strand made contact with the secondary, it became energized with electricity & hot enough to glow red. You are able to physically see this from a distance because it was dark outside.

This is a pretty dramatic example of why we encourage everyone to be mindful of downed or low-hanging lines, and why they should ALWAYS be treated as ⚠️DANGEROUS⚠️ even if it doesn’t look like an electric line. Cable, telephone, and broadband lines can become energized if they somehow make contact with low-voltage lines. And they certainly do not have to be glowing red like this one to be dangerous, or even deadly.

If you ever see a downed line, stay far away, and report it to our office at 270-753-5312. DO NOT try to move it yourself.

Stay safe!

Murray Electric System crews have been changing the old mercury v***r ballfield lights to new LED lights at the Murray-Calloway Co Parks. LEDs use a fraction of the energy, last longer, and are more durable than MVLs. These new lights were purchased with remaining grant money from the Street Light Conversion Project by the City of Murray. ⚾️🥎💪♥️🖤
