But then again, Ron lives in Ohio. The people that brought us the
August 2003 blackout. Which was started by a tree falling on some
power lines....


AEP (ex CSOEC) runs 48kv for rural distribution. A few years
ago they came out, replaced all the transformers and insulators,
doubling the voltage, rather than replacing the wires. Anyway
that's what the guys said who work on lines; as well as a couple
placards warning of 38kv(?) lines crossing 48kv lines, where my system
intersects another. Placard now gone.
