[353FMG]

Cool it. It ain’t 12/21/12 yet.

[CaptainK]

Is there bad weather in the area?

[wolficatZ]

INCREDIBLE VIDEO JUST UP http://youtu.be/7KE03ofvgDI

[Momaw Nadon]

SRSLY WTF? I didn’t think there was actually something to this Mayan apocalypse stuff!!!

[fatima]

Unreal.I would be scared too.

[abigkahuna]

What would make Four transformers blow? Someone hack the SCADA systems/ Suxnet? Or just plain ol electrical problems—maybe its copper thieves, eh?!

[GSP.FAN]

I just started reading a book will i be able to finish it?
I also bought stuff from E-Bay today, was it a waste of money?

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

Green and red... airplane navagation lights? Aurora? Info on Space weather does not seem to support aurora. Transformers blowing up usually purplish. If not spoof? What?

Aurora info;

Quick, somebody alert Art Bell!

[visualops]

Not necessarily the reason, but I do suspect there will be quite a lot of pranking going on tonight.

[doorgunner69]

If it were Cu thieves, they be crispy critters now. Would not want to be near that when it blew......Made what little hair I have stand up just seeing the video.

[353FMG]

Did anyone hear the shout ‘Allah Akhbar’?

[muawiyah]

you can see transformer after transformer blow as a tornado cruises through almost any urban area.

Ain't no thang ~ on the other hand, this looks to be a major distribution transformer station ~ so it'd have several banks that could blow under overload conditions.

Thought they fixed this problem with those supercapacity capacitors

[Theoria]

Damn Mayans Marylanders.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s the spirit of Orson Welles returning to Earth!

[Mr. K]

ok why not add to the fun...

We are having a major windstorm here in Buffalo, NY like I have never seen before- especially from that direction

And as I am typing this- it suddenly stopped

[NoCmpromiz]

somebody alert Art Bell

And don't forget Alex Jones... ;-)

[icwhatudo]

LOL-wow! I’d be freaking out too if I saw that!

[jwalsh07]

THINK REALLY BIG ASS ARC WELDER.

[Kirkwood]

Doesn’t Clark Griswold live around there?

[bimboeruption]

It is in Australia.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

We are having major wind here in Ga too. I am so on edge here- surrounded by 100+ year old oak trees. The house is creaking.

Going to be a long night here. I feel for y’all in Annapolis. Take care and be safe. And locked and loaded too, I might add.

[Theoria]

Thanks for that link. Classic, NWO...lol..I sent it to Drudge...maybe we can get some action tonight.

[niteowl77]

Is there smoke on the water?

They'll be blaming stupids with flare guns.

[The Cajun]

About right now the on call power crew guys are saying !!CRAP!!

” you can see transformer after transformer blow as a tornado cruises through almost any urban area. “

Actually, what you’re seeing are ‘line slaps’ and the resulting arcs when a couple of phase lines touch, usually on the slack spans that aren’t pulled taut (tight) ...

[Trod Upon]

Hell, he’s probably in the bunker already. I’m actually kind of surprised nobody has posted the “It was aliens” guy yet.

[BipolarBob]

There are 24 time zones worldwide.

[SVTCobra03]

The world doesn’t end until 5:11 a.m., CST, 12/21/12; so you still have time.

[Terry Mross]

It’s too early for any of this to be “Mayan connected”. They are so accurate that they predicted something 26,000 years in advance. I doubt they’d be off by a few hours.

[icwhatudo]

Police say BGE Glen Burnie substation blew; power out in much of Annapolis. Multiple small fires at downed wires in area. Annapolis mall is dark-reports of looting. Large power outage leaves customers in the dark from Crownsville to Annapolis.

” There are 24 time zones worldwide. “

There are more than that; there are some places that have a 1/2 hour shift ... it ain’t universal to just opt for a “1 hr” window ...

[tflabo]

You idiots—we said ‘attack Mayaland’-— not Maryland.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

It’s 12/21/12 somewhere.

[concentric circles]

[Momaw Nadon]

[Terry Mross]

Terrorists may think this a great night for a “prank”.

[combat_boots]

Wow.

Stay safe!

[cripplecreek]

Gonna be a lot of disappointed people tomorrow afternoon.

[steve86]

Reports of some kind of debris falling into the bay? Not surprising, I guess.
