Re: Lights in the sky during Hurricanes

When the effects of Floyd hit E Central Florida, all night long we kept seeing the same "aqua-blue effect" you were talking about. I also didn't know what it was until the transformer in my neighbors yard blew. What a beautiful yet irritating light it put off. Irritating, because we didn't have power for almost 5 days. But that's my best guess for what that light is. You can see transformers blow from a ways away. Hope that helps.
