| wishiwas (OP) User ID: 19081353 12/20/2012 09:14 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When transformers blow, the flash is usually bluish or greenish, not white? Does that fit with what you are seeing? Quoting: Mycelium Yes, that's why I was asking about anyone losing power. Not thinking, though, that anyone who's lost power won't be able to answer me. DERP. I haven't seen anymore since the initial ones, so maybe it was transformers blowing over there. Just seemed odd and wondered if anyone else had seen it. |

| Uncle Alyosha User ID: 30642873 12/22/2012 12:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I saw a Very Bright white flash when our neighbor's tree fell and took out the power lines in the back yard on Thursday at about 4pm. I noticed a couple other white flashes in the distance over the next couple hours, which I assume was the same... Best Wishes, Uncle Alyosha And here's a GLP-appropriate Bible verse (atheists may read, too): God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong. - 1 Corinthians 1:27 |
