Transformer fire may have tripped tornado sirens across St. Charles County
May 14, 2011

ST. CHARLES COUNTY • Authorities believe a transformer fire near the county’s fire and ambulance dispatch center in Wentzville about 3:45 p.m. today caused a power surge that tripped tornado warning sirens from the dispatch center for about three to four minutes.
The transformer was atop a pole on West Meyer and May roads, near St. Joseph Health Center, authorities said.

Fort Worth Explosions , caused by Orbs? Re posted.

I posted this remarkable video of 'orbs' mysteriously flying above exploding transformers in Fort Worth Texas three days ago, even more mysteriously the whole post and any reference to it disappeared from my blog, I can only imagine Google are responsible.
Well here is the the whole thing re posted, watch the video, you can clearly see three or four orbs appear and disappear at the beginning of the clip, birds can be heard singing in the background which I thought was rather odd considering it is dark and no explosion noise is audible or noise of thunder.

Most of these explosions happened around the 11th of may when a comet crashed in the Sun causing a huge Solar Flare

US official: growing threat from solar storms

GENEVA (AP) -- A senior official at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says solar storms pose a growing threat to criticial infrastructure such as satellite communications, navigation systems and electrical transmission equipment.

NOAA Assistant Secretary Kathryn Sullivan says the intensity of solar storms is expected to peak in 2013 and countries should prepare for "potentially devastating effects."

Solar storms release particles that can temporarily disable or permanently destroy fragile computer circuits.

Sullivan, a former NASA astronaut who in 1984 became the first woman to walk in space, told a U.N. weather conference in Geneva on Tuesday that "it is not a question of if, but really a matter of when a major solar event could hit our planet.

COMETS DIVING INTO THE SUN http://www.space.com/11663-comet-hits-sun-solar-explosion.html

In relation to the comets dive-bombing the Sun link, is this becoming a 'regular occurence'? The site says it thinks the large solar flare occuring at the same time is just coincidence, but then there's this video that Jenetta placed on the Elenin thread that shows the same scenario, apparently in February 2003. It begins to look like the Sun is doing this 'on purpose'. Did you see this one Carol?

Westwood electrical explosion injures bus driver
Wednesday, May 18, 2011


WESTWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- An electrical explosion rocked Westwood Tuesday at about 9:20 a.m., blowing out windows and sending flames and smoke pouring out of an electrical vault at Westwood Blvd. and Weyburn Ave. The blast sent a metal plate flying into a Metro bus and injured the driver.

An underground Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) electrical vault exploded. Witnesses say the power of the blast sent a Metro bus aboveground into the air.

"It lifted the back end of the bus about two feet off the ground from the power of the explosion," said James Flanagan, a witness at the scene. "The explosion, when it happened, there was a big ball of red flames and it looked the main gas tank of the bus exploded, but it wasn't."

It would be interesting to find some other facts about those happening . For instance, taking other days at random from say 12 months ago and compare the data on transformers blowout . In my younger days , I remember that days or rain would always cause electronic / electrical appliances failures . So the electronic workshops would be very busy on those times . I am not trying to discount the phenomenon , I am just aware of the rainy day effect on electronics/ electrical gear. It would be interesting to keep an eye on future events in this field . The jury is still out on this issue for the moment . EMP or natural phenomenon ?

I'm thinking solar storms and also are weakening magnetic field.

'Controlled' power cuts likely as Sun storm threatens national grid

Monday, 13 June 2011

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/controlled-power-cuts-likely-as-sun-storm-threatens-national-grid-2296748.html

Officials in Britain and the United States are preparing to make controlled power cuts to their national electricity supplies in response to a warning of a possible powerful solar storm hitting the Earth. In an interview with The Independent, Thomas Bogdan, director of the US Space Weather Prediction Centre, said that controlled power "outages" will protect the National Electricity Grids against damage which could take months or even years to repair should a large solar storm collide with the Earth without any precautions being taken.

Major Drop in Solar Activity Predicted
June 14, 2011


http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=33826&utm_content=api&utm_medium=srs.gs-twitter&utm_source=direct-srs.gs

The Sun viewed in visible light, at minimum phase (2006) and maximum phase (2001)

A missing jet stream, fading spots, and slower activity near the poles say that our Sun is heading for a rest period even as it is acting up for the first time in years, according to scientists at the National Solar Observatory (NSO) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).

As the current sunspot cycle, Cycle 24, begins to ramp up toward maximum, independent studies of the solar interior, visible surface, and the corona indicate that the next 11-year solar sunspot cycle, Cycle 25, will be greatly reduced or may not happen at all.

The results were announced at the annual meeting of the Solar Physics Division of the American Astronomical Society, which is being held this week at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces: http://astronomy.nmsu.edu/SPD2011/

"This is highly unusual and unexpected," Dr. Frank Hill, associate director of the NSO's Solar Synoptic Network, said of the results. "But the fact that three completely different views of the Sun point in the same direction is a powerful indicator that the sunspot cycle may be going into hibernation."
