There are no stupid comments, just stupid people making comments.
LOL - or just people stuck on stupid making comments. :)
Like Jeraldo with his "transformers blowing up" talk every time he sees an electrical flash and hears the bang. I can guarantee that 99 out of 100 times, what he claims is a transformer blowing up is actually either a high-voltage distribution line touching a tree, a ground wire, or another conductor. Or maybe a lightning arrester giving up its life. Transformers fail, but not very often, and usually from direct lightning strikes after the lightning arrester has failed in the past or from overheating due to extreme loads.
Sorry - just a utility worker's rant against the typical lack of knowledge on the part of the media.
