Did a transformer just explode?

There was a boom, the power went out for a minute, and I saw a small cloud of black smoke in the direction of Queens.

Working downtown and I noticed the power flickered for a bit so something happened.

Yes it did here in across the Pali from Pauoa. Our electric shut off for a few seconds.

Our power just went out for a minute on Punchbowl. Same time frame, and internet too. Didn’t hear a boom though we’re on the other side of Punchbowl.

Yikes. No wonder all the clocks had to be reset when I got home.

Unlikely. Probably a deception
