It takes as little as a quarter inch of ice to bring down a power line. Just one quarter of an inch can add 500 pounds of weight to the power line.
During an ice storm, ice accumulation on power lines can weigh them down and cause them to break. Additionally, ice can cause tree branches to break and fall onto power lines, disrupting the flow of electricity. These conditions can lead to widespread power outages.
Using gas and electricity during a tornado can be dangerous because the storm can cause power outages and gas leaks, increasing the risk of fire or explosion. It is important to turn off gas appliances and unplug electrical devices to prevent damage and ensure safety during severe weather.
Storms can damage buildings, infrastructure (such as roads and power lines), vegetation, and cause flooding. They can also result in injuries and fatalities, disrupt transportation and communication, and lead to power outages.
Yes, 30 mph winds can cause significant damage, such as knocking down trees, power lines, and causing structural damage to buildings.
Yes, 40 mph winds can cause significant damage, such as knocking down trees, power lines, and causing structural damage to buildings.
Yes. Even fairly weak tornadoes can bring down power lines. These power lines create a risk of electrocution in the tornado's aftermath.

Only if they were really badly built.
by storms
you cut down the power lines so the tree cant fall on them

During an ice storm, there is a layer of warm air between two layers of cool air. The cool air in the upper layer allows clouds to condense and form snow. When the snow hits the layer of warm air below, it melts and forms rain. When the rain hits the layer of cold air hugging the ground, it freezes again, creating a layer of ice over everything.
Power lines and phone lines though using the same utility poles are two different sets of wires. Telephone wires carry their own power, separate from the power lines and are insulted while power lines are not. If the telephone wires are unbroken but laying on the ground the wires will not short to ground while an unbroken uninsulated power line will short to ground disrupting service.
Many of them have their own emergency generators, ready to take over if the commercial power fails.
To bring down the house means to cause an audience to leap to its feet, breaking into cheers and wild applause, by the power of one's performance.
