Video of this morning’s electrical fire

Glenn Switzer emailed me this afternoon:

On the way into work this morning, I captured the high voltage electrical fire at the sub-station by Sundowner Trailers. It caused a temp power outage on the south side of town.

    Impressive. Anyone know why the explosion looks like it comes up from the ground to hit the fire?

    The transformer fire and accompanying power surge gave me a nasty welcome to my new town of Northfield. Having just set up my hi-fi system a few days before, the power surge blew my amp/tuner. Anyone know of a local service person who can fix it?
