Huge power surge in my town just now
Can still see the power lines rocking back and forth, and tripped just about every single one of our breakers. Sounded like an explosion. Sun related?

It's from the sun. That's what happens when a solar flare hits the power lines - it generates more electricity than the lines can handle and it all fries trying to get to ground.

Hope your homeowner's insurance is paid up.

Re: Huge power surge in my town just now
Happened to me in Upstate NY last week during the 18
M Flares.

The main box on my road is in my front field.

BOOMexplosion

Threw sparks an set the field on fire.

Then it exploded again.
When I went out to see what the hell blew up.


As I watched the fire waiting for the FD, I could hear a half dozen breakers exploding off in the distance.

Totally Flare related IMO

Everything is back up and running now. Weird that it only struck once that I know of.

Re: Huge power surge in my town just now
I am a lineman. That is I work on high voltage power lines for a living. What you experienced was just a high voltage fuse blowing. Generally it sounds like a 12 ga shotgun firing. Something got the lines together which is why you saw them swinging. A bird or squirrel possibly. As soon as any 2 come in contact with each other the fuse will blow. Happens all the time.
