Last week they shut down the power in my area due to high winds. Now we see a little rain, and it's sparking or arcing the power lines that's crazy

So second electrical pole to catch fire today in this area? There was another one this morning at Wilbur Ave and Hodencamp.

Power flowing through the lines finds a “ground path” which is the pole. That area cannot dissipate heat. Think of a piece of bread in a toaster left too long.
