Can you see the smoke from where you are?
Kraken!
What happened?
something went boom in my home town
Oh no, I live in the north side, far far north side.
But a transformer station exploded in the Wabash area, igniting about 16,000 gallons of high grade mineral oil used as a coolant. About 5,000 residents were evacuated as the fire spread to nearby houses, luckily the fire department quickly got it contained.
They said a malfunction was to blame, and that it'll take a couple of years and about a few million dollars to replace. Which probably means another rate hike from Lakeland Electric.

yeah, my mom was just outside the half mile evactuation area...
Glad to hear you're alright, folks. Damn those Transformers, being all big and destructive when they fight each other...
