Interesting morning. Got woken up about 8AM by a very large explosion. At first, I thought something had fallen over -- like my neighbor's house. All of my neighbors and I walked out in our backyards, in various stages of sleepware and hastily donned clothing, looking for rubble or smoke or heavy artillery or something but everything looked okay. The consensus was a power transformer blew somewhere in the neighborhood, but we still had power, so it probably was a few neighborhoods away. Ten minutes later, Georgia Power trucks came trundling down our street, so the transformer theory seems to be confirmed by circumstantial evidence.
