rough transcription: Irene has struck. A transformer blew up behind our house with a dramatic flash of blue light and a horrible noise. We have no power
A transformer next door to me used to fail regularly during evening heat waves. It would make a series of popping sounds like gunshots, each of which was accompanied by the power flickering on or off. Once the noise stopped, the power went off for good (until NStar arrived).
