FIRST... If this does happen... Its "W"s fault!!

NOW.. Seriously... If a big transmission line, of say, 345kv(That is 345 THOUSAND volts, to the non-science types) was to cross with a smaller line, of say, 12.5kv, like those that feed a neighborhood, or even onto a residential 240volt line, NO surge protector will help. you would have so much power, for a short time, coming into the line, it would BLOW everything electrical in a house in HALF!!. ( until the substation protection kicked in, and cut power.
