Transformer In Manhattan Explodes During Hurricane Sandy

There are so many videos being shared of the devastation on the East Coast.  The flooding, everywhere.  The damage to homes, buildings and the Atlantic City Boardwalk.  Neighborhoods under water.  Cabs under water.  It's almost beyond comprehension.

This is a video I found of a transformer in Manhattan exploding at the height of the storm; shortly after, many areas lost power.
