(14,961 posts)we had the eye in the daytime. I remember watching transformers blow left and right during Erin (1995) in Vero Beach had a direct hit. Back then in the old days, all we had was a radio. People were calling in freaking out, I was young and thought it was beautiful.
I've seen others throughout the years, but I'll always remember being in awe of the "blue green lightning".

(14,489 posts)Just a transformer exploding would have been a quick flash and big boom. However, when a high-voltage insulator fails, it can arc over for a time if not detected and stopped.
I'm just shocked that the protective relays didn't trip out the feeders much faster, and that may explain the duration....

FOX just happened to get in touch with a New Yorker that isn't exactly a fan of FOX, Trump, and right-wing propaganda. I'd say it's about a 65-35% split on the good side.
