It's a transformer blowing. Prepare to lose power. Where are you?

During the Super Los Angeles Severe Supercell Thunderstorm on November 13, 2003, I saw the same thing all around downtown Los Angeles. Thought I saw a small tornado, but didn't have my camera to know. It looked like one though.

Transformer and/or power lines grounding out ... I haven't seen any reports of thunderstorms or lightning observed except from bands that are offshore off the East coast of Florida ...
