Arching? Or arcing?

They were arching. Mine were too. Had PG&E come out and tighten them up.

You’re joking right? The power line was just fine hanging out up there providing power to 17 homes until a mistake was made that caused the lines to arc hence causing the power outage. Maybe you ought to start Dana Roach gas and electric since I’m sure you’d do better……I bet you think spoons make people fat too huh?
