I was a few miles away in Williamsburg walking outside when this happened. No line of sight to source because of the buildings. Just saw the clouds & sky turn orange and then bright blue and then it started flickering. Seemed to go on for a few minutes before it just faded away. My wife and I started to get concerned because we had no clue what it could be. I turned to Twitter and found out pretty quickly it was a transformer explosion, but there were about five minutes where we weren't sure what to do just caught out on the street.
LGA got shut down briefly because of the power outage. Amazingly, they had it back online in an hour. Which was great for us because we flew out of there this morning.
- mtalantikite 8y agoI was sitting in my living room in Williamsburg when I noticed the lights dim and saw the sky outside was a pulsating blue. It kept it up for what seemed like a couple minutes and I didn't hear any loud explosions, so I just assumed it was a film crew shooting a movie in the neighborhood.
