People have been telling us for years to stay away from downed power lines, but what about power lines that are still up?

Strong winds knocked out the power in Montreal this past Friday.  Somehow an electric fireball traveled along the power lines in front of a man's house.  He was ready when a second fireball came through, and he got video of it.  Watch this stunning, and literally shocking video that he posted on YouTube!

If you are easily offended, just a heads up: he does curse as the fireball goes by... but wouldn't you?
