Blown Transformer

While driving on the freeway while it was raining all of a sudden this huge bright light blinded us and everybody else on the freeway. We were almost right in front of it when it happened but on the opposite side. At 1:05 you can see how bright it was when we were already on a street after making an exit. Happened about 9:30 pm on 5-10-2011

Heres another video that has a view of what else was going on from downtown at that moment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYCHBI66izs&feature=player_embedded

They're blown transformers arn't they? Wow man, i'd be scared if i was you.

Was the sound a constant loud crackle and popping?

@Shabbyorange101 It was scary as hell man lol some ppl called this "arching" so i guess thats whats goin on. You could hear it buzzing more than anything but it popped at some points. Check out the link in description to see wat else was goin on all around me. I wouldve filmed it better but i wasnt in a safe spot nor did i have my preferred equipment. I didnt plan on staying long either cause who knows what wouldve happened if it got worse.
