SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A series of underground explosions caused some power outages and traffic problems in downtown Sacramento Monday morning.

The first blast was reported in the area of Seventh and H streets shortly before 10 a.m.

Sacramento firefighters, light rail workers and Sacramento Municipal Utility District officials were at the scene investigating a possible electrical fire.

Power was out at City Hall and at least one other building, officials reported.

It was not immediately clear if there were any injuries resulting from the blasts.

It's that guy named Borat that sticks the lit match under Michael's exhaust pipe who needs to be taught a lesson.

"They" are jealous of our tomatos.


Actually... we have two high-rises being constructed now... I am wondering if they screwed something up.

I turned on the TV but no news... I saw one hippy interviewing another.

I'll see your gas line and raise you underground power cables.

Electric lines run manhole to manhole, whereas gas lines don't generally connect inside manholes.

We get a few manhole explosions in the Georgetown area of DC. Mostly rats gnawing at electrical cables with some stray fumes to provide excitement.
