24 Power Poles Knocked Over in Seattle - Reason Unknown - Witnesses Describe Blue Light Flashes - No Lightning Strikes Recorded notable copied from 8ch:  Seattle phone fag here and have been following this story about 24 power pole being blown up. Don't know if it's been posted, don't care. What I do know is that witnesses said that a blue light , they assumed lighting, struck the pole and everything blow up at once. They length of the line of poles is over a mile. Theses are not poorly maintained poles with most of them being 5 years old of an expected life of at least 50 years as they are treated. Anyway, the weather people say that their lighting strike meter did not register a strike in the area at the time. The destruction was amazing. But they are already changing bits of the story and the destruction doesn't match lighting, wind, or even tornado which we ever have in the Puget sound area, let alone Seattle.  https://www.king5.com/mobile/video/news/local/two-people-rescued-after-24-power-poles-crashed-in-south-seattle/281-701ac20e-cbf6-4d88-a459-c572e8c6db61 http://mynorthwest.com/1336571/tukwila-power-pole-fall/
