I was in bed just now,,trying to catch my beauty rest. At 10 PM,a loud explosion rocked my apartment. It sounded like it was to the Northeast of me, and I felt the pressure wave. A car alarm went off as sometimes happens during earthquakes, and then went silent 15 seconds later. I called 911 and they said they,had already received reports about it. A power transformer? I dunno. I suppose I'll read about it tomorrow morning. I do have power, but the houses beyond the bike path look mysteriously dark.

I checked the national news and the local San Francisco news and found nothing. Then I checked FOX News and the mystery was solved. They had a headline that said, "Trump Still President, Liberal Heads Still Exploding All Over California."

This is what I found in the news: "2 critically injured in Northern California mine shaft explosion..." Do you believe it could be this?

I don't think so. We have old mine shafts here about 15 miles to the Northeast. But this sounded closer.

That would be a bit scary. I hope that it's easily fixed, whatever it is.

If there is no light in one area, it does sound like a transformer blew. At least YOU have lights!
