Electrified

I was sitting on the couch earlier this evening watching Whodunnit? with Bre. We heard and saw this unbelievable boom and flash and it literally looked and sounded as if a bomb went off. We looked out the window and I saw flickering behind the tree and I knew it was on fire. We ran outside and down to the back and sure enough there were flames up above. They were burning the power lines and you could hear this sickening zapping sound and showers of sparks fell to the ground. It had been raining and a branch fell from a higher up tree and snapped a line from the transformer, causing the arc of electricity. The fire department eventually showed up and the power company too. The other half of the condo building had their power blown out but luckily ours stayed on; True Blood was on!
