Transformer Explosion with Smoke pouring out 4 Hours After the Storm VERY DANGEROUS!!!

This was uploaded when I ran my Computer off generator power and there was soot all over the cars in the driveway. A few minutes after this was posted, a plume of smoke from the tree that caught fire came wafting at me while I was outside to make sure that the transformer doesn't catch fire. If you look to the left you can see the same power lines that sagged at the end of the storm video have drooped down to their lowest point when it failed.

Oil?

[@EASandSevereWeatherAddict]

Yes that's oil and it's a highly flammable coolant that is used in many transformers which normally keeps them from overheating. With this failure, the oil ended up overheating due to a nearby power line being damaged leading to explosive smoke pouring out of it. I've seen videos on similar explosions with active flames. Luckily this one did not produce flames since power was cut by the blown fuses before it could end up producing flames
