That feeling you get

[Liar]

...when something goes BOOM outside on the street, your windows rattle and a painting falls down.

I has it.

Brb, gotta see if I see what's goin on.

 

[butters]

keep your light off and stand back from the glass

A transformer blew

 

[RobDownSouth]

A transformer blew

I've watched one blow up....really huge blue lightning arcs everywhere. It looked like computer CGI....almost "artificial".

The shock wave set off every car alarm in our company parking lot, and the concussion physically pushed me back about 3 inches.

 

[Wings]

Autobot or Decepticon?

I went to close the back door earlier and heard what I thought were gunshots. After a second I realised it was drums. Then I realised we're coming up on the 12th of July. Northern Ireland, where bigotry gets a public holiday.

 

[Saint Peter]

A confused drone?

 

[Liar]

A transformer blew

Unless the transformer was in a garage across the street, I'm guessing no. It seems to have only half a door left. Two firetrucks just pulled up.

 

[Wings]

Dear WQ: please let us know when you are but are not evacuated.

 

[Liar]

What? People generally don't have rocket propellered grenades in this hood.

 

[butters]

What? People generally don't have rocket propellered grenades in this hood.

since you didn't know what was going on, no need to make a target of yourself at a lit window or risk glass fragments should there be a further explosion.

but you iz squirrely, so you can get acrobatic and shit

plus i'm watching The Rock

lotsa BOOMS and shattered windows in this

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

Prolly the local al Qaeda boys practicing exploding a daycare facility.

 

[Disgustipated]

Dear WQ: please let us know when you are but are not evacuated.

I lol'd .

Someone wasn't keeping a close enough eye on the temperature in the still.

 

[gardenia19]

I vote for meth lab explosion.

 

[lovecraft68]

When I bought my house I didn't realize(and the realtor did not mention of course) is that on the other side of the stand of woods behind my back yard

Is the shooting range for the Warwick Police Department. On Mondays its open to the public so it is all day long.

So now what's going to happen is there will be real shooting going on in the street and I'll be like "Yeah, they're at it again."

 

[warrior queen]

Dear WQ: please let us know when you are but are not evacuated.

Just so you know, there is a bluestone quarry near where I live.
So we're all used to explosions here.

 

[Liar]

Ok, now smoke starts pouring out. Or maybe it was all along. A bit hard to see given it's 1 AM here.

 

[SuprSalor]

I vote for meth lab explosion.

I'm seconding this motion.

 

[bluemuse]

It's spectacular when all the transformers blow after an earthquake.

 

[bluemuse]

During, actually.

 

[islandman]

First possibility: meth lab

Second possibility: still

Third possibility: terrorist hide-out

Fourth possibility: revolution

Fifth possibility: stupidity


So, which was it?

 

[Sean]

First possibility: meth lab

Second possibility: still

Third possibility: terrorist hide-out

Fourth possibility: revolution

Fifth possibility: stupidity


So, which was it?

The first four aren't mutually exclusive with five.

 

[islandman]

The first four aren't mutually exclusive with five.

Fair point.

 

[Liar]

Looks like a small fire set off a gas tank. Probably propane, but they didn't say.

So, option five. Boring but true. I was rooting for division by zero.
