It will reach out and touch you.
It will recharge the line you just shut down to nearly the same voltage it was at before you drained it.

Make sure you have the best gear available and take it slow.
Personnally, I'd hire GE or a local engineering firm with HV experience to send out a service tech.

I was goin to just read these post and be quiet,but you have some guys on here that have no idea of what they are talking about!!!
High voltage WILL NOT reach out and grab you!!!
Overhead-It can only "recharge" if there is a immediate source from which it can be "induced",hence grounding. Underground-can be induced or if left ungrounded for a long amount of time (days not hours) can build a capacitance charge.
