Here's a list of compiled transformer incidents that have happened within the last 3 1/2 weeks. I don't know if this is the usual number of transformer fires, explosions, and problems over the course of three and a half weeks, but it seems kind of high to me. I left out several in India and Africa which could simply be attributed to poor infrastructure, and also disregarded reports blaming wrecks, storms, or squirrels.4/20/11 Hartford, Connecticut ( transformer fire and power outage) [ link to articles.courant.com] 4/20/11 Marion, North Carolina ( transformer explodes at Duke Energy substation causes outage) [ link to www2.mcdowellnews.com] 4/21/11 North Manchester, New Hampshire ( transformer fire) [ link to nashuajournal.tk] 4/23/11 Palm Beach, Florida ( transformer overheats in club) [ link to www.palmbeachdailynews.com] 4/24/11 North Platte, Nebraska ( blown transformer) [ link to www.northplattebulletin.com] 4/24/11 Petaluma, California ( blown transformer causes fire) [ link to petaluma.patch.com] 4/26/11 Frederick, Maryland ( transformer fire) [ link to www.fredericknewspost.com] 4/27/11 North Canton, Ohio ( transformer malfunction causes building fire) [ link to www.cantonrep.com] 4/28/11 Meriden, Connecticut ( transformer fire in apartment) [ link to www.myrecordjournal.com] 4/30/11 Newark, New Jersey ( transformer fire at Seton University) [ link to www.thesetonian.com] 5/4/11 Torrington, Connecticut ( transformer fire causes power outage) [ link to www.rep-am.com] 5/4/11 Ridgewood, New Jersey ( blown transformer) [ link to www.northjersey.com] 5/5/11 Topeka, Kansas ( blown transformer causes power outages at three schools) [ link to www.wibw.com] 5/5/11 and 5/13/11 Bathinda, Punjab, India ( burned transformers) [ link to www.punjabnewsline.com] 5/6/11 Shelton, Connecticut ( overheated transformer at high school) [ link to shelton.patch.com] 5/9/11 Champaign, Illinois ( transformer failure) [ link to www.news-gazette.com] 5/9/11 Bryan, Texas ( blown transformer causes fire) [ link to www.kbtx.com] 5/10/11 Kanpur City, Uttar Pradesh, India ( transformer catches fire, burns down 10-15 shops) [ link to english.ntdtv.com] 5/10/11 Snellville, Georgia ( exploded transformer in flames) [ link to snellville.patch.com] 5/10/11 St. George, Utah ( transformer causes power outage) [ link to www.thespectrum.com] 5/10/11 Oak Grove, Oregon ( transformer fire) [ link to www.oregonlive.com] 5/12/11 Wallaceburg, Ontario, Canada ( transformer causes power outage) [ link to ckdp.ca] 5/12/11 Sumter, South Carolina ( blown transformer at elementary school) [ link to www.theitem.com] 5/12/11 Fort Worth, Texas ( lightning storm exploding transformers) [ link to www.cbsnews.com] 5/12/11 Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin ( exploded transformer at factory) [ link to www.nbc15.com] 5/12/11 Deatsville, Alabama ( transformer fire at Alabama Power substation) [ link to www.wsfa.com] 5/12/11 Houston, Texas ( blown transformers - check out the "fireworks/swamp gas"-like explanation) [ link to abclocal.go.com] 5/12/11 Wilmington, Delaware ( transformer problem causes outage) [ link to www.delawareonline.com] 5/12/11 Sandy Springs, Georgia ( transformer fire at Georgia Power substation) [ link to sandysprings.patch.com] 5/13/11 Piney Point, Maryland ( transformer explodes at a campground) [ link to www.thebaynet.com] 5/13/11 Las Vegas, Nevada ( exploded transformer behind casinos) [ link to www.thestar.com] 5/13/11 Ukiah, California ( Medical Center transformer power outage) ( search Google -in Ukiah Daily Journal) 5/14/11 Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania ( transformer causes power outage that "sounded like an explosion") [ link to thetimes-tribune.com] 5/14/11 Hillcrest, New Zealand ( transformer erupts in flames) [ link to www.stuff.co.nz] 5/14/11 New City, New York [ NOT New YORK City] ( power outage due to transformer) [ link to newcity.patch.com] 5/14/11 Wentzville, Missouri ( transformer fire trips tornado sirens) [ link to www.stltoday.com] 5/15/11 Karachi, Pakistan ( transformer on pole causes power outage) [ link to www.dawn.com] 5/15/11 Dixon, California ( transformer explodes) [ link to dixon.patch.com] 5/15/11 Grand Rapids, Michigan ( transformer fire in apartment) [ link to www.woodtv.com] Quoting: germanbininice list germanbini. 5* for you my friend.
