BLUE YORK CITY!
A faulty piece of equipment charged with 138,000 volts of electricity erupted into an “electrical arc flash” that cast an eerie blue glow over the skies of New York, Con Edison officials said Friday morning.
The rare phenomenon blew up at the Astoria East Substation on 20th Avenue and 32nd Street around 9:10 p.m. and could be seen across Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Video from the event looked frightening.. it started people on highways, bridges, and public transit.. some people had a tinge of fear in their voice as to why their dark city nights suddenly erupted in to day-time-like blue auras..
“It’s like a thunder-and-lightning event,” explained Con Ed spokesman Bob McGee. “The loud bangs people heard were likely related to the arc striking the ground grid on the substation from a piece equipment that’s 20 feet up in the air and carrying 138,000 volts.”
Many residents who were home at the time experienced flickering lights.
Despite earlier reports, McGee said there was no actual fire at the substation.
“The illumination was caused just by the arc flash. Once the electrical source removed, the arc flash subsided,” he said.
Con Ed officials are now investigating the incident and whether the flash of light was extinguished because the machinery automatically switched off or because it was burned through.

ODDITIES REPORTED TO PHONES AFTER PRESIDENTIAL ALERT TEXT
Northwest’s cell networks disrupted after ‘presidential alert’ text »
For several hours Wednesday, subscribers with several networks, notably AT&T and T-Mobile, reported being unable to download data or use their apps soon after the text alert, which was sent at 11:18 a.m. Pacific Time.
“The presidential text alert went out and after that I lost all internet, Gmail, apps — everything stopped working,” said Sarah Mendivel, a medical researcher at Seattle Children’s Hospital. When Mendivel finally got through to AT&T, she was told “they didn’t know what it was,” she said in a phone interview Wednesday afternoon.
Soon after the outage, both T-Mobile and AT&T reported being aware of the outages but did not know why they had occurred or when service would be fully restored, according to online news accounts. But by 5:30, AT&T was reporting the problem had been addressed.AT&T said the presidential alert had nothing at all to do with the problems..

The Green Mile is a long road
A woman purported to be the oldest living person ever at 128 says she hasn’t lived a single happy day in her life and her longevity is “a punishment”.
The Russian government claims Koku Istambulova is the world’s oldest person.But she has bluntly said her longevity “was God’s will” and she “did nothing to make it happen”. While some people chalk it up to a healthy or active lifestyle, “tired” Koku said: “I have no idea how I lived until now.”
Koko is set to turn 129 in two weeks… and she added: “I have not had a single happy day in my life.”
Now that is something surely to look forward to. The Golden Years…. raining down on you.

A CDC researcher left work sick two weeks ago — then vanished
A CDC researcher left work sick two weeks ago — then vanished »
Dr. Timothy J. Cunningham had been a rising official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The Harvard-educated epidemiologist was promoted in July at the U.S. Public Health Service in Atlanta and contributed to responses following outbreaks of Zika, Ebola and health emergencies caused by Hurricane Sandy. He also was a prominent fixture in the Atlanta community, earning a spot in Atlanta Business Chronicle’s 40 Under 40 Awards last year.
But the researcher, who studies disease patterns, was not feeling well Feb. 12 and left work around midday
FROM WASHINGTON POST REPORTING:
Cunningham, 35, hasn’t been seen or heard from since, his family and police have said, sparking a $10,000 reward offered by the family in partnership with Crime Stoppers Greater Atlanta for information leading to an arrest and indictment in connection with the incident.
“I feel like I’m in a horrible ‘Black Mirror’ episode,” his sister, Tiara Cunningham, told the New York Times, referencing the dystopian sci-fi television show. “I’m kind of lost without him, to be quite honest.”
She told the paper she speaks with her brother often, but their conversation Feb. 12 left her concerned. “He sounded not like himself,” she said. He did not reply to a text message she sent later, and their mother, Tia-Juana Cunningham, did not reach him either.

SMALL TOWN CLOWNS MOVE TO ISRAEL
SMALL TOWN CLOWNS MOVE TO ISRAEL!
Channel 2 on Tuesday aired footage of a minor who dressed up like a clown in Yavne. “I am the Yavne clown,” said the boy. “I do it because it’s boring [in Yavne] I am not into killing people, only into scaring children.”
Police official Boaz Hamami, who was also interviewed for the Channel 2 report, said that the danger is two-fold: to the people who are panicked by the clowns, and for the clowns themselves, who might end up being shot by security or worried citizens who might respond with violence at the sight of a clown attacking children.
And there is a new report from the nation that a child was running scared at someone dressed like a clown.
This is the same pattern of clownish oddities that graced other continents previous autumns..
Oddly enough the movie IT came out and all of I seemingly died off in America and the UK.
But in Israel? The small town clowns are out en masse….

There is something strange afoot in the city of Seattle Washington — a butterfly effect is causing strange emotions from people who are finding origami butterflies throughout public locations.. when the papers are unfolded, ominous messages appear..
From a local report:“Origami butterflies with ominous messages have been found all around Seattle.The colorful creations look cheerful at first, but when unfolded, the phrase “you are not safe,” is revealed. A date is printed along with the message: 9-28-17.Even more puzzling are the illustrations, which include Russell Wilson, Kurt Cobain, the Starbucks siren, and a peace message. One of the notes features the Seattle skyline without its famous Space Needle landmark.A website is listed on some of the papers: www.allgodsmustdie.com. On it, a scramble of letters merge together to form the statement, “You Are Not Safe” while Wagner’s “Das Rheingold” plays. Then, a psychedelic goat appears behind the vaguely threatening.There is a Reddit thread dedicated to the strange occurrence.”
Interesting information has been unearthed by users on REDDIT.. they appear to be on to something. THe ALL GODS MUST DIE page may be associated with an anti-abortion religious zealot.A theory has emerged that this person could be drumming up attention for national abortion rights day–9/28..
But it is tattering already fretting nerves in the area–a location that is having earthquake drills and emergency alert tests…

Terrifying Apocalyptic Message Interrupts Orange County California TV Broadcast
Terrifying Apocalyptic Message Interrupts Orange County California TV Broadcast:
If you were watching HGTV in Orange County on Thursday morning, you may have been treated to a terrifying surprise.
As the channel switched to an emergency broadcast screen, an extremely loud, badly transmitted voice came over the speakers.
“Realize this, extremely violent times will come,” the voice said.
“It almost sounded like Hitler talking,” Stacy Laflamme told The OC Register. “It sounded like a radio broadcast coming through the television.”
TV viewers on both Cox Communications and Spectrum received the alert. According to the broadcasting companies, no one was sure why. They believe that some sort of radio emergency test tone was sent, which was picked up by the television stations. Instead of ending after a tone as usual, whichever station sent the alert did not send the ending code, and another radio transmission was picked up and continued to air.
With how intense the world has been lately–earthquakes, fires, fears, and hurricanes–this must have come at the completely wrong moment.
