Wow, where was that?!?
New York City.
I don't have the slightest idea what it was but I'm thinking that the camera was adjusted for nightvision so it seemed brighter than it was. I think if it really was that big the news would have mentioned it. (I've been watching the news the past 4 hours)
Edit: After watching it over again my current theory is a transformer blew, those things can be pretty impressive when they go.
Whatever it was, I want a flashlight that is as bright with a big, deep reflector.
OUCH! One transformer down and 6 zillion to go. That would have given you a suntan!!! 
Dan.
sorry Speedsix, this one is man made. Do you play a haarp?
All of my deck furniture is tied together. I have a giant pile of furniture moving around my deck for the last 3 hours. Power is on, cable/inet is out. On iPad over wireless hotspot via blackberry.
I sure hope the wind stops soon or I don’t think we’ll have much siding left on the house.

+1 on thee prayers! I have some large limbs down in the back yard but still have power and Internet. Wind is bad and its raining but the really hard rain still hasn't hit yet.
Heard it was electricity plant/station, not confirmed yet…
Obviously
Stop at 0:31.
Compare the streetlights against the white light.
The difference is very big.
It’s probably just a wee bit brighter than what you can see with your eyes, if you check out 0:01s.

Amen :cowboy_hat_face:
I hope everyone survives Hurricane Sandy with as little damage as possible.
Good luck y'all!
Rode it out so far here in Ephrata, Pennsylvania (Near Lancaster), Had to stay up in shifts all night in case we needed to fire up generator, but power has stayed.
Quite a few homes in my township without power, next door neighbor lost a pretty good sized tree.
I have not ventured out yet to see surrounding area.
For being where the eye passed very near us, I feel Blessed.
Thanks for the prayers and continue to pray for those hardest hit in NY.

We follow your struggles, that’s all we can at the moment. Our thoughts are with you.
Stay safe!
I hope as many people as possible make it thru okay. On youtube the video says it’s The initial explosion at the Con Ed Plant, E14th and FDR in New York City.
Please, go away with these conspiracy theory
I have been trying to stay out of this but Im gonna side with Speedsix, what is the point of "praying" to someone who creates things that kill thousands. I mean seriously you think that the chinese (most people are paranoid about them) are attacking us through the weather? Then how are they supposed to get a return on their investment?
