Have you ever seen a power line "gallop"? Wind conditions can sometimes cause a phenomenon known as galloping, when lines sway and bounce up and down. If a galloping conductor gets close enough to another energized wire, it can result in power disruptions, or could even lead to damage causing a power outage. If you see galloping or damaged lines, be aware of potential safety hazards and stay clear. | Newfoundland Labrador Hydro | Facebook

When lines gallop, the excessive motion can create a short circuit, causing lights to flicker. Power outages are also possible due to excessive ice accumulation.
