re: #131 Backwoods_Sleuth
true. The story indicates it could have been a transformer. I think Pope County was hit by the ice storm, so this could possibly be related to that.
When I lived in Houston a transformer blew up outside my house at 3 am in the middle of the summer. No fire but scared the living hell out of me….sounded like a cannon. The worst part was no AC until later in the day.
