    It looked like a lightning strike, perhaps in a transformer station?

    There are no coincidences.

    Jim Stone says drones are dropping wire strands across the power lines, which can blow out the power transformers.

    Have to be pretty thick wire strands.
    Jackie did it and you know it!

    Yeah, doubtful a drone could lift and deliver a long enough strand of cable thick enough to match the size of transmission lines.

    Electrons flow only on the surface of electric wire and cables, NOT internally (electrical transmission cables are stranded to provide more surface area). A 'wire strand' would flash and disintegrate much like a fuse filament or a 110 light bulb energized with 220 if not the same size as the targeted transmission line.

    Why?

    It only has to start current flow, the ensuing plasma conducts the rest.

    Transmission lines carry high voltage electricity, typically at 345,000 volts, over long distances between the power generation plant and customers. In some cases, a large industrial customer may receive electricity directly from overhead transmission lines.

    Subtransmission Line
    Transmission line voltage is lowered and fed to subtransmission lines at 69,000 volts. These lines normally supply large commercial businesses.

    Local Transmission Line
    Voltage of subtransmission lines is decreased to feed the majority of business, small industrial and residential customers. The voltage of a local transmission line is 13,800 volts. This voltage is then lowered even further to between 220 and 440 volts for industrial use and from 120 to 240 volts for commercial and residential customers.


    STUX SPOOKS BUST PAYS OFF

    As of 10:55 PM CST, Venezuela's power is 69.1 percent restored (up from 16.8 percent yesterday, ) when the Stuxnet virus guys were busted at Guri, subsequently triggering the U.S. to claim Venezuela has started anonymous and unjustified detentions of Americans which was used as a reason to announce removal of American embassy workers which would "allow more options" for the U.S. to "deal with the evil dictator Maduro". A fool could see what that means, cruise missiles are next.

    The data is provided by Oracle, so it's not Maduro puffing B.S. As soon as the Stuxnet brothers were busted, Venezuela's electrical problems steadily rose from approximately 18 percent power to 69.1 percent power within a day as shown by this internet access map, which proves 69.1 percent of Venezuelans are back online. That can't happen without electricity.Problems will continue as drones continue to drop conductive strands into substations to blow them up. This game is not over yet, but at least the virus problem has been confirmed, and obviously handled. There's no way the bust of two American stux spooks and restoration of power was coincidence!

    If a virus shut it all down without damaging a whole lot, Venezuela will probably get up to about 85 percent power over the next couple days because it is apparent drones and other saboteurs have done a lot of damage to substations and transformers, it won't all come back up quickly.My guess is that most of the substation explosions are going to be repairable, it all depends upon where a conductive strand got an arc established from and to. If all it did was blow the top off insulators and eat small transformers, that's an easy fix. If it actually ate a giant 50+ megawatt transformer, that's not so easy and will take a year or so. All such events are so bright you can't really tell what actually happened. But I'd bet that if left alone Venezuela could probably get power back up to about 95 percent restored in about 2 weeks. Many of the substations have more transformers available than they actually needed. Rolling blackout time for some areas. Better by a whole lot than no power at all.
    Watch that Oracle map for updates on Venezuela's power situation, it is probably the most reliable reference there is.
    There's a solid chance the power failure attack failed. Venezuela was definitely hurt by it, but not badly enough. If the U.S. got what it wanted out of this, it would not be calling the embassy workers home, obviously the war hawks know they lost the power battle and will now proceed in a different way.

    Remember when I said drones as small as a DJI phantom can wipe out electrical lines and transformers?

    There is a video that likely shows that happening in Venezuela.

    As it turns out, Venezuela's transformer and power line explosions are likely to be exactly that. There is video where it appears obvious a drone is dropping conductive strands onto Venezuela's power lines, in the hope of getting a self sustaining arc going. There is video of this happening down the page a ways on this Twitter. The guy who posted the video assumed it was too much voltage doing this, but it is clearly not, the sparks are being caused by conductive strands being dropped. A real over voltage arc would happen in one spot only, and be absolutely immense, not the sparklers all over the place the video is showing.This appears to be something dropping conductive strands on the power lines, in the hopes of getting a welding arc going. If such an arc is successfully started, it is pretty much game over, everything will get cooked.
    Most likely, this is exactly how the substations are being torched off - drones are dropping these strands, which were well spoken about during the gulf war, for taking out substations. Once an arc gets going, there's no stopping it until it burns everything up. It is lucky circumstance that someone captured video of such an attack underway (unsuccessfully) being done, it failed to cause the lines to blow up in this case. However, this video proves foul play in the manner I described, there's no question whatsoever that the substations are being destroyed as an act of war.
    So if the virus does not do it, the drones and conductive strands will be used.

    Reuters reports that China has offered to hel restore Venezuela’s power

    China offers help to Venezuela to restore power

    WORLD NEWS
    MARCH 13, 2019 / 2:50 AM / UPDATED 13 HOURS AGO

    BEIJING (Reuters) - China offered on Wednesday to help Venezuela restore its power grid, after President Nicolas Maduro accused U.S. counterpart Donald Trump of cyber “sabotage” that plunged the South American country into its worst blackout on record.


    Maduro, who retains control of the military and other state institutions as well as the backing of Russia and China, has blamed Washington for his nation’s economic turmoil and denounced opposition leader Juan Guaido as a puppet of the United States.


    With the power blackout in its sixth day, hospitals struggled to keep equipment running, food rotted in the tropical heat and exports from the country’s main oil terminal were shut down.


    Speaking in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lu Kang said China had noted reports that the power grid had gone down due to a hacking attack.


    “China is deeply concerned about this,” Lu said.


    “China hopes that the Venezuelan side can discover the reason for this issue as soon as possible and resume normal power supply and social order. China is willing to provide help and technical support to restore Venezuela’s power grid.”


    He gave no details.

    Power returned to many parts of the country on Tuesday, including some areas that had not had electricity since last Thursday, according to witnesses and social media.


    But power was still out in parts of the capital of Caracas and the western region near the border with Colombia.
    Information Minister Jorge Rodriguez said power had been restored in the “vast majority” of the country.

    The blackout was likely caused by a technical problem with transmission lines linking the Guri hydroelectric plant in southeastern Venezuela to the national power grid, experts have told Reuters.

    Maduro has blamed Washington for organising what he said was a sophisticated cyber attack on Venezuela’s hydroelectric power operations.

    One of the neater bombs used in Bosnia just puffed out carbon fibers that would coat the insulators in the substations and short them out. It took about 2 weeks to clean them off. That drone idea is a good one.
