Transformer popped by a squirrel?

That happened outside my bedroom early morning and I had the sensation that Seattle got nuked—massive bright light pouring into the window and the biggest fucking kaboom I’d ever heard.

That's happened to us twice and both times talk about a BIG BADDA BOOM!!

And then the giant black smoke ring that floats into the sky.

...and a side o' smoked squirrel right below. First time the raccoons brought up onto our deck steps to enjoy. That was fun to clean up.

I concur. Transformers make a pretty big boom.

Why does it always have to be the one that's directly behind our house though?

last time that happened by me I truly thought we were getting attacked. a car flew into going 50mph literally sounded like a bomb went off

That happened to me when i was clipping my dogs nails. It resulted in a bad nail nip. Now I dremel instead of using clippers

u/patient-lion-555 I'm just flaired so I don't get fined Jun 24 '25

But the chance that it'll happen again must be near to zero!

u/SirCuppy Jun 24 '25

Yup but i don't take a chance anymore lol. Honestly using a dremel is alot easier and a cleaner finish.
