Ive been off LJ for a while due to work (isn't that often the way), but I had to share this. Starting up my car on Friday morning, there was a loud bang from near the house, and then smoke coming up from infront of the house. Now it was raining (first time in a looong time with this drought we're having) and suddenly smoke was rising from the other side of the house. So I ran down and it was the power pole that had caught on fire.
Some cars had stopped as well (and calling Emergency services) so I ran back into the house and grabbed a camera.
And Magnus was rather worried watching it from inside the house.
