Multiple electrical explosions in Kenner last night - Video

no trains blown off the bridge this time?

That's bad arse

I thought that too.

wow! Just from winds?

I hope they had surge protectors

holy smokes

When wind is involved, it will tend to whip the pole top conductors together. Phase to phase contact = big blue fireballs. The one behind the Exxon could have been from a problem within a substation. Either a breaker or switchgear.

Remember this?

Millions of dollars in improvements done.

I do remember that like it was yesterday. It was the first time I had ever actually taken shelter in my hallway due to severe weather. My son was born a week earlier and my wife, who still couldn't get around much after giving birth, crouched down in the hall while I held our infant newborn son. Power went out, the sound of the wind howling was super scary, and I remember watching from the hallway two trees in the backyard go horizontal. I thought for sure the house was going to collapse at any time but luckily we made it through with just a few shingles missing.
