From the sound I thought it was a transformer explosion, as did the initial police on the scene. It turned out to be a fallen power line that was charged and going crazy as it touched the base of the telephone pole.

Saab Story
fire incinerated four cars and a Dunkin' Donuts restaurant May 7, 2005. It began with a tiny crack in a porcelain insulator high atop CL&P utility pole in Farmington, Ct. My car is the second one in from the street. It was a brand new Saab. It took us almost two years to settle with CL&P. Not only were they not sympathetic, they were just mean! Connecticut Light & Power would not accept responsibility for the fire. This was not the first incident.
