Breaking: Major power outage in Annapolis MD. Reports of "fire in the sky"

[icwhatudo]

Relative on Eastern shore says all lights out on Western side of Bay Bridge. Green and red lights in sky.

[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!!

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.
