Not to derail, but this has some major problems. Lines and poles will go down regardless, and it would take a very long time to visually inspect every single pole and transformer in the grid. There are also many ground-based transformers in new developments, even harder to inspect.

If ANY transformer was justled and has a short inside, it will simply wait for reacivation to explode all the same.

Meanwhile, winds have picked up considerably in Jupiter, but surprisingly enough the newspaper was delivered on time.
