The awesome, what we assume, blue lightning last night around 11 pm in Mechanicsville.... Amazing!!
What I saw was bright red and lit the entire sky up when I called 911 they said it's was a tranformer that blew. I was worried it may have been a house on fire, never seen anything like that.
Nope, ours was bright electric blue... It was stunning. It happened several times. Never seen anything like it before. It definitely wasn't a transformer.
Was there thunder? I had heard about the thunder snow down south.
Maybe the wind was blowing some limbs across the lines causing an arc. If it was that much lightning, you should have heard the thunder. JMOWe didn't hear any, which was the weirdest part. At first we thought it was electric lines arcing but it lit up our whole yard. And stayed lit for a few seconds. It happened several times over the course of about 15 minutes, specifically when it was really windy. Then, the wind stopped and we never saw it again.

We had lightning here in Lexington Park, too! It was terrifying at first because it was so windy and scary looking. Then it seemed almost tranquil after a few flashes.

I live on the Cove Point side of CRE. I saw a big blue flash right around that time as I opened my front door so bright I couldn't see anything. The sheriff's department said there were power surges in the area.
I saw three bright flashes last night at the same time we lost power and assumed they were transformers blowing. Been 10 hours now and still no power. House is 56 degress.
I'm so sorry you lost power! Put another beagle on the bed!
We never lost power. All our lines are buried and we rarely lose power, thankfully. Hope your power comes back on soon!
