Here's what burned my ass last night

The house on the corner (one away from us) and it's neighbor to the west had garages that burned to the ground last night. No one knows whether the fire started in the dumpster that's in one of the driveways which blew the transformer on the pole above it or if the transformer blew sparking a fire in dumpster.

Either way the power line was down and arcing which set the garages on fire. Our house was cordoned off due to the proximity and I wasn't able to get back in until almost one. No power for us until later today or tomorrow.

Here's a pic I took. The garages you don't see behind the van are the ones that burned down.
