Based on the video, I would not describe that as an “explosion”.

How long will it be before someone claims that
a transformer failure is the action of a terrorist?

Sounds kind of weird. Reports say several fires, an explosion at the substation and they’re also talking about a gas leak too in some other reports.

my grandson is at Texas Tech. I texted him last night,” You ok” He responded, “Yes” and that is all I’ll get out of him.
