Re: Lightning on phone lines
Got sent to a report of a customers phone not working. As I approached the address I noticed the main overhead cable hanging low and stopped for a look.
Lightning had hit the cable and blown all the wires out the side of the sheathing.
They were so neatly spaced, it looked like the lightning had got halfway through prepping for a splice joint then gone for a tea break.
As I stood admiring the mess, other repair vans started turning up in response to the 100 customer fault reports.
I passed my job back for attention of the cable gangs and cleared off.
