  Ok, there's definitely something here I'm seriously not understanding.

  What does rain or water have *anything* to do shorting out power cables?
I don't get it.

  Heck, there are power cables at the bottom of the sea. So what? What does
that have to do with anything?

  It feels like everybody is writing like power cables were bare metal wires
with nothing covering them. Why?
