Not sure. The AFD said that the inclement weather caused a problem and the top of the pole caught fire. The fire made its way down to a transformer where the explosions happened.
Oh my gosh. We were driving around town and the sky would light up and then everything everywhere would go black. Then all of the lights would come back on for a while and then the sky would light up and everything would go black. It happened so many times I didn't keep track. We were freaking out because we thought it was some crazy weather phenomenon.
I've witnessed something like this myself, and it's scarey seeing it. So much electricity being an untamed beast. Some lady's car ran into a power pole, and brought the lines down. Was without net access for over 12 hours :(
That was a completely wicked night! Making it back to the campus houses was tricky though. And go figure that we still had class the next day even though the power had only come back on a half hour beforehand...
very nice editing on this one, i must say better than the FTH editing job. anyhow this was a friggin awesome night, everyone on campus learned how to deal without their computers/tv/etc...
This was the best night ever! Although it sucked if you were trying to do homework or were plunged into darkness in a creepy Sorority house that is supposedly haunted by your founder!! Also, I never realized how much fun it is to cook and clean-up by candlelight! :)
I was in Miller Hall during the whole black out and Transformers were going off everywhere!!!

that is very dangerous. what was the problem for the powerlines to cause them to explode that way?

Why do there always have to be cackling Jackass wannabe fratboys (that are likely drunk) in these types of videos? LOL Sheesh!

i think a blurb about the fact that WE STILL HAD CLASSES the next day should be added to top off the hilariousness of this video
