It’s up in far north Fort Worth near Roanoke. Explosion reported. Bad timing for sure!

Everyone plugged in their electric cars all at the same time.

It’s in extreme north Fort Worth, apparently. Really bad timing with the weather right now.
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning. ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/AvUPi.gif)

what fuel feeds a fire like this? I thought it was just all metal.

Power is mostly for an Amazon data center. Yup, lots of transformer oil stored there.

Transal oil by itself won’t burn. You can throw a match in it and it will go out.,what happens usually is the transformer will get a internal short/hotspot and get the oil hot enough to make the oil put off gas. When that happens they go boom. That happened at our plant on 9/12 everybody was already scared about 9/11 so it created some anxious moments for a little while
some people like silver and gold
I like brass and lead with a little powder in between
