Luckily for me it ran for about 30 to 60 seconds(screeming crazy fast) and then the fuse blew in our main panel. I could not see for like ten minutes or so, but when I got my sight back there was a eight inch black circle on the wall over the recepticle area. It could have been much worse, but what a laugh my brother and I had after the shock wore off. I thought I was dead.
