Ground

Around 7:15 this morning, when my wife was in the shower, an electrical shock traveled through the pipes in the house and shocked her as she adjusted the water. She is ok - so don't worry. No harm done. But it certainly was alarming when I thought about it afterwards. The power went out at the same time throughout the house. So something definitely went wrong somewhere...

Afterwards (at around 8 AM), cable, internet and phone were down and the utility guys were outside so I went out to investigate. Turns out "something blew through the line" and burnt out "that porcelain thingy" on the telephone pole behind our house. I asked them about the shock that happened and subsequently there was a party with a bunch of old Cajun electricians and Jozy in our backyard. Turns out we have no "ground" from our incoming electricity lines.

"You should get that fixed. It will protect you."
