About 5-10 minutes ago, I saw some blue/green bright lights while looking across the Allegheny river towards Highland Park. I vaguely remember hearing that transformers give off those types of colors when they explode. Not sure if that was the cause, but it seems around the same time.

Seconding this. Transformers make some interesting blue-green colors when they explode. It’s a mix of the arcing electricity and the oil they’re filled with

Plus a loud humming noise. Grew up in Florida and used to love the light/sound show whenever a hurricane rolled through. Sucked to be without power for week tho :/
