Some amateur digging on NYC Blue Light event. If this is already been posted, then disregard.
Sidebar: Many thanks to the BO and the ITfags on getting us up and running again.
Historical:
Does anyone recall this event in Fort Wort 2011? Multiple flashes, multiple colors but each was short burst?

This was also blamed on transformers blowing up. Date was May 11, 2011. Note that there are almost no sounds during any of the light explosions. Also, the colors vary from white to blue to orange. None of them. I don’t have the skills to look but I would expect to find a sharp increase in the $$$ spent by the FW electrical companies (material, man-power, order for multiple replacement transformers), customer calls/complaints and other stories following this event.
NYC:
Now this is second hand but I’m going to share. I don’t know if any other direct reports from others one site have been posted.
A friend lives about 3 blocks from the Con-Ed facility where this happened. He was watching TV when the house lights blinked, internet reset, etc. He went outside and saw the blue light in the sky. He hadn’t heard any explosion. He walked down to the Con-Ed Gate soon after, saw the fire trucks there but couldn’t see beyond them. I asked if he smelled ozone or burned metal or anything unusual. He didn’t.
He spoke to some of the others gathered there. Those who live close had heard an explosion but it was very small, nothing of a large magnitude. We had a pole transformer blow a few years back that was a ¼ mile away. The house shook like a bomb had gone off. No lingering light (blue light or other)
One last point:
An Anon (>>4495541) pointed out “Earths Magnetosphere just took a wack. I wonder if this is was caused the NYC power plant explosions.”
If true, why just ONE station (or transformers) affected? Wouldn’t there be multiple incidents of what happened that night? Not just in NYC but in other parts of the country / world-wide.
Is there something unique about this facility?
