wishiwas (OP) User ID: 19081353 United States 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. Justitiae soro Fides |

A Muse Me User ID: 24395285 United States 12/20/2012 09:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | St. Louis (KSDK) - Thousands of costumers experienced power outages in counties across the bi-state region Thursday. Quoting: [link to www.ksdk.com] Ameren Missouri says high winds knocked out power to more than 49,000 customers. By 6 p.m. power had been restored to around 28,000 customers. Ameren Illinois says power outages continue on that side of the river. Crews continue to work on restoring power. At 6 p.m. Ameren Illinois reported there were still a few thousand outages. High winds and downed trees are being blamed for widespread outages. We were out of power for a couple hours a couple hours ago. Saw no flashes of light. Very high winds. The term derives from the Ancient Greek words, meta, meaning beyond or after, and noia, meaning perception or understanding or mind. |

Uncle Alyosha User ID: 30642873 United States 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 |
