    happened in south Miami-Dade County... was an FPL substation... pretty near my parents house, you can see when the autoformer failed and let out all its oil (aerosolizeing it) then WHAM, giant fire

    This has to be one of the most impressive power switch failures I've seen.. even the electrical technician there was impressed:
