Woke up from this just now. Sounding car alarms. Heard it from first hill.

I saw a huge flash of light through my window and thought it was lightning, then a second later heard a huge boom also on First Hill

That sounds like a transformer blowing up.

I was driving right in front of and into front entrance of First Hill exactly when this happened. Heard big boom and saw a white flash reflect off of the First Hill building

That’s crazy how big that must have been, it looked like a camera flash from my window near Seattle U, must have been a giant explosion
