Looking for electricity is ALWAYS "poke it with a stick." A voltmeter is poking with two sticks and measuring the difference between them. A "current detector" is poking it with a stick to pick up the fluctuating magnetic field around a live AC line. A "voltage detector" is poking it with a stick that has a "light bulb" (LED, incandescent, neon, depending on the expected voltage) connected to ground. If YOU can find a better way of looking for voltage, we'd love to hear it. And we've already tried licking, that only works for 9v transistor batteries, and only on the probies/new guys.

Guy even was ready to admit he might just be hallucinating the sparking since he stated up front he thought he was quite possibly losing his mind because he *knows* the box isn't plugged in. Self-awareness is a sign the guy is mostly likely NOT hallucinating. Just can't understand how the situation happened.

​@danielleasewala2225 I'm glad to see Jesus has historical evidence surrounding him and that its not just a bunch of crap, I forget, though, that atheists think Christianity started with "hey let's make this religion, telling EVERYONE that they suck, that NOTHING THEY DO will get them into heaven, that's there's only one way, and let's not forget to tell people this man is God, we're not doing this for riches and glory though, and uh if we DONT deny Jesus as God, WE DIE FOR IT!!" Jesus Christ himself stated "I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE" either Jesus is wrong and theres many ways, or he's right and literally everyone else is wrong, and being the fact that Jesus grave is empty, and the bible is considered the most preserved book dating to antiquity, meaning no other ancient text even comes close to the material we have for the bible, I'm gonna trust Jesus, but you'll still deny him, but you'll find out, you'll wish to bow your knees, and you will confess with your tongue that he is Lord, but it won't matter then, not when you're standing in front of him having to give an account for everything, like we all will, only difference between you and someone who has a relationship with Jesus? We are redeemed from the empty ways of life, handed down to us by our ancestors, while those who don't know him, stay tucked away in the corners their ever so familiar with, attempting to hide in the shadows, but the father sees what's done in secret, just as he sees what's done in the light.

As a Cable Technician I can say I've seen this exact scenario multiple times. Note that Cable Line can't take a lot of power, it will just melt. Usually when the Amperage got over 2-3 Amps the line wouldn't survive. So this issue would only occur for a short period of time. Then the lovely call to the Electric Company.

For those interested, I had just shut the window as the storm was getting pretty bad, the ground wire ran next to the window and it struck seconds after I shut the window.

My computer was directly connected to the cable modem via Ethernet. One day, a power line fell on the cable. Not only did it explode the cable modem, sending a shower of sparks all across the room, but it also fried my PC. Turned out the outside ground wire had never been connected at all. Comcast settled out of court.

Bruh, reminds me when I used to do clean up after storms. I was trying to cut up a tree, but every time I put my saw near the trunk I felt a tingle. Turns out it took down a line with it and no one noticed until the last second. I would be fried long pork if not for someone more perceptive than myself noticing the discrepancy in the number of wire lines.

something like this actually happened to me last winter. a lightning bolt hit a nearby transformer, the Power Road up the internet cable into our house and blew out our computer. we didn't realize it at first, in part because there was a mess in front of it, and secondly because everyone else on the blocks internet was out so we didn't notice any difference. on the plus side, I have one hell of a story when I can honestly say my last computer died because God said get an update

I’m the cable guy. They call me first and try to make us pay for their TV. I get there, every outlet is charred black and the street is lettered with police and fire. It gets better when the house is rewired by your drunk uncle or some piece of electronics breaks and it dumps 60-120v on the coax. If it was fibre, we would still get blamed for your TV breaking…

I had smelled a burnt smell for a few days, I kept looking around for the source and thought I was losing it. Eventually the smell got stronger and I moved an appliance and plugged another in, immediate smoke came out I panicked, unplugged it and called emergency. It had stopped smoking by the time they came and I unplugged it, one asked me if I was sure it wasn't the appliance I said I smelled the burning, thought it was the microwave, removed it and plugged in another and it started smoking. The inside was melted. 😂 I'm still terrified of plugging anything in. The burnt smell happened again and yep it barely started melting inside I was told I had a good nose. Not the same thing of course, but I also thought I was imagining things. 😂
