Yes, there's explosions like this in NYC too.
But the manhole cover doesn't explode. It gets launched into the air when something underground explodes.
Generally, the manhole cover is fine. Just the stuff it lands on gets hurt.

The San Francisco Fire Department is sending crews over to a report of a blown-up manhole cover, a fire department dispatcher said. The incident happened on Post and Kearny in front of the Ralph Lauren clothing store near the Crocker Galleria shopping center, the dispatcher said. And all because of the Bush tax cuts.

In San Francisco, a "transformer" blows up inside a "manhole" and blows off its "cover." Ya' can't make it up!

You are very welcome.
Witness Update - felt a "heavy wind" go by the window (her words), elevators in her building dropped to the lobby and got a few people stuck. Head the explosion.

I thought I was in a time warp. Turned on FNC and there was Amber Frey discussing you know who.
Yikes! Is there no end to the inanity of our media...including FNC.

No you can't. It is a perfect set-up for sarcasm. It's like a hidden coded message. :-)

Now you're blowing it out of proportion.
