Have to admit, the absolute last person you want around in this situation (and even more so in an actual emergency) is someone who over-emotes; typically women, but not always will sometimes just scream or go into panic mode, even when the emergency is happening to someone else (and they’re not in danger). It’s annoying when it happens with car accidents and, say, downed power lines, but it’s genuinely dangerous when it happens in high-stakes emergencies. Hurricanes, for example; it puts people in danger if there’s someone sitting in their car at an intersection screaming and panicking, as everyone else on the road is trying to evacuate. I watched a video of a mountain climber, whose team was struck by an avalanche. This was supposed to be a seasoned climber who understood the risks, and was trained/prepared for the likely event that someone on her team, at some point during her climbing career, would be seriously injured or killed. And yet, when disaster struck, she didn’t rush to help or logically work through what to do next. She stood there and screamed at nobody in particular, stuck in the panic that tends to get people killed in that situation. All of that said, I completely understand this man’s comment. There’s no benefit to getting worked up about it; you can flee, leap in to help, or stay put, and in their case the latter was their only real option.

@@robertc.5558 I understand the extra precaution but when power lines poles are falling and the wind is just chucking things, how much can you really avoid? It can possibly occur on their side of the road, those poles are so big that every lane was covered on the other side. Looks like both sides had the same lane space, the lane next to the divider was literally the best option for that unpredictable weather outside of actually just getting off the road.

Public safety reminder: if power lines land on your car put it in park, turn off the engine, and remain in the vehicle. Avoid touching metal surfaces. Call 911 and wait for emergency crews to turn off the power and Remove the lines from your vehicle. In modern grid systems the power will try to close the circuit three times after detecting a fault so just because it stopped arcing (the pretty white/blue light) doesn't mean it won't reenergize in a few seconds.

[@eardestructioninc.4928]

I work at a power utility. NEVER under ANY circumstances get out of the car if you are ever in this situation unless being in the car poses an immediate threat to your life. Fuses are supposed to blow to kill the line if it goes down, but there is no guarantee that the line is dead until the electric company can open the nearest disconnect. Your car acts as a Faraday cage in this situation and all of the electrical current will run through the metal body of your car to ground, so you are safe in the car, but the ground near the line could still be energized which can result in something called a “step potential” which basically means there is voltage between your feet when you take a step, so DO NOT exit the vehicle. If it is a dire emergency and being in the car poses a direct threat to life and limb, JUMP out of the car making sure you don’t touch the metal bodywork and keeping your feet together, and hop on your toes away from where the power line is. You will look like an idiot, but it is better to look like an idiot and stay alive than to actually _be_ an idiot and get fried by a step potential from a downed power line.

It was on the major highway that went through westminster and the poles litterally went across the highway and because of where the different cars were at no one could really move anywhere. This was only a small portion of the poles that went down it was litterally a domino affect that went past a few of the intersections. There was litterally no where to go you couldn't just drive away from them. They even fell on some dudes truck as well. Aaron was right there was litterally nother that could be done in the moment lol. It was scary man whole highway was shut down for a few days after that traffic was horrible! Lol

Exactly. Just stay put & don't even open the window. Although it looked like it might not have been fully touching the or only the wires were. Getting out would still possibly kill you.

Don't ever get out the car near a downed power line, when the ground is wet. Water is a conductor of electricity and the electricity will kill you instantly through the water
