Huge electrical fire in front of my house

[Mike Ventrella]

Woke up this morning to a loud BANG! When we looked out the window, we saw that the ice had apparently caused a huge transformer to slam into the street and catch on fire! It almost missed a car, and the occupants were pretty shaken up.

Electricity was out until about 7:00 at night...

 

[tieran]

Wow... that is pretty impressive...

Almost missed?

[shyacorak]

wow, how long did it burn for?

 

[Mike Ventrella]

wow, how long did it burn for?

About 20 minutes until the emergency vehicles showed up!

 

[Gunnar]

Eef. Glad everyone's okay.

That's crazy.

[Pokethulu]

Glad that you were not too cold.

 

[shyacorak]

did you lose power?

[shyacorak]

I read good
duh

 

[jpariury]

Almost missed?

That worried me too.

 

[shyacorak]

I am still not sure with that

 

[tieran]

yeah I never really got an answer to that either...

 

[Mike Ventrella]

"Almost missed" LOL!

OK, remember -- I've been fighting kidney stones a lot lately and am on many painkillers...

 

[tieran]

LOL...
Ok, Mike, painkillers are an acceptable reason to not make sense

 

[Ezri]

Yipe! Glad everybody is ok.

 

[shyacorak]

yeah, I know how painkillers can be
mighty funny for everyone else

 

[Neshir]

Wow glad your ok. And almost missed? I'm still laughing from that.

Damn, Mike. Glad you're ok.
