Watch Fireball Zip Across Power Lines (VIDEO)

Video shot by Chris Fitzmorris in Kenner, Louisiana, shows electrical power surging through the lines at the same time a transformer went down as a winter storm ripped through the state.

Thousands of people were without power across Louisiana as icy winter storms move across the state on Monday morning.

Crews were quickly on site trying to restore power to residents in Kenner, just west of New Orleans.
