I had 50 feet of fence with burns around the staples in the posts when a power line fell on them during a thunderstorm.

I thought more about this as it relates to the fence burning from the nails inside. Plausable, except the power in Lahana had been cut.

It would also depend upon where the nails were. Occasionally there would be a nail not attached to the metal part of the fence, to hang something on. Did those nails (not attached to anything) also burn the posts? If the effect was electrical from the metal fence, those would not have burned.

If there were such a thing as a Carrington Gun, and if it were to have been used, either all the nails would have burned the posts, or just the nails at right angles to the direction of the alleged beam. Is there evidence of either of those things?

...except the power in Lahana had been cut.

Couldn't that part have happened before power was cut?

(Yes, I'm examining from both sides at once)

It was a wood fence, with the runners attached by four nails where it crossed the post. It clearly burned only where the cross-runners were nailed on. I the image i the video you can still see the nails where the post if charred.

Yes it could.

Metal conducts heat better than air. And melts at a much higher point than the flash point of wood.
The metal runners could have heated up the wood at point of contact, if the runners were still attached at the time.

Unconnected nails in wood burning the wood (without the rest of the wood burning) would need a different cause.

It didn't look like metal runners in the image. Maybe I missed them?
