You could get shocked from a power pole, manhole cover!

Now this is scary — seeping electricity from old underground wiring that is losing its insulation is creeping up to the surface and electrifying things like power poles, bus stop signs, manhole covers and even sidewalks. Step on one of these electrified objects on a rainy day, in some instances you could get a fatal shock. Watch this segment from the Today Show. This is hard to believe, but it's true! A 15-second commercial will play ahead of the story, but stick around. This is worth seeing.

  1. That really is scary. I wonder if anyone's doing anything proactive about this.
