Should I be concerned?

There was an extremely loud bang about 5-10 minutes ago. Kinda like a hollow, metallic thud X 2. Now there are a ton of sirens streaming in from everywhere. Swung past our house, but ended up further away and are still echoing.

Why yes, it is one in the morning, why do you ask?

Could be a transformer (not the autobot but the ordinary electrical kind). When those blow, they make a loud LOUD bang and occasionally set things on fire. If that was it, it probably wouldn't make the news unless any fires got out of control.

That actually makes sense. We've got a power relay station up Hennepin from us, and I believe there's another one at the U. It could have been either one of them. Thanks!
