Stay safe! There's lots of static in the air, and that doesn't help. Earlier this month, I was trying to detangle some tiny Christmas lights outdoors after having tested them and all bulbs were in working order inside. A dry wind was blowing from the West, and I was standing under power lines. The lights were not plugged in. All of a sudden, two tiny bulbs banged against one another and because it was dusk (had taken me longer than I wanted to untangle), I saw a spark, and it looked like some bulbs lit up momentarily; I looked more closely, and the last half of the bulbs were ALL blackish and appeared to be burned out. I THEN plugged them in, and sure enough, the static had put a charge into that string and burned out half the string of lights.
The wind blew a big-arsed tumbleweed over my fence an into my backyard. It is at least five feet in diameter.
