Authorities are investigating a transformer explosion at a power plant that lit up the sky over Queens tonight, ABC News NY reports.
It happened at the Astoria East and North Queens Con Ed plant.
New Yorkers reported seeing massive blue lights in the city following the explosion and took to social media to share photos and videos. The NYPD says a fire caused by the explosion is under control.
According to Con Edison the transformer explosion was caused by a transmission dip at its Astoria substation.
The mayor’s office says there are scattered power outages, including at LaGuardia Airport.
The NYPD says there have been no injuries.

Scary. Very scary.
Something’s fishy. Hope we’ll find out the truth soon – from Real News of course.
I just posted that something smells fishy. It sure does because at the same time there were power outages in Kenner, Louisiana and Springfield, Illinois and perhaps in more States. These are no “sudden transformer explosions”. It sounds more like the Deep State are behind it.
Remain calm and no one is going to get hurt.
