Beam of Flashing Light Fills Michigan Sky After Explosion

Found this on youtube, didn't see it on the forum or sott, so I thought I'd post it here to see if anybody have any ideas as to what this might be?

So, at the moment it seems to be "only" an explosion at a power plant. Ordinary or not.

Woah, that's NUTS! It looks like there's some sort of electrical happenings in the sky that could possibly be connected to the explosion on the ground? It doesn't look like a normal explosion at all.

I have seen an electrical substation on fire do this in videos from work.

A year ago I saw it in real life and it looked like that.
I was driving to a friend's house and saw the sky flashing with red and blue brilliant lights.
As I got to the perpendicular point of the lights, I saw the road down that direction, which I recalled had a big electrical substation.

The large high voltage transformers have a lot of oil that catches fire during a fault, and sometimes the system doesn't shut down the power to the fault- so it keeps doing arcs and setting more of the oil on fire. That's the same reason why a solar flare can be a problem, the electrical networks are not too smart- or in some cases improperly calibrated.

For perspective of electrical energy:
A 12 inch wide electrical feeder from underground can carry MORE energy than a 36 inch natural gas main!

In the final segment of the You Tube video there appears a quite clear shot of what appears to be an electron beam shining straight up from the area where the fire was also seen. This reminds me of the Sunward electron beam coming from comets. I don't see how a burning oil fire from a failed transformer could create such a beam. It might also be plausible to think that this beam is what was causing the strange glowing in the air seen above the fire location.
Added:
Another thought: What if that which appeared to be an electron beam going upward was actually the reverse - a beam coming down to that location? That would possibly be the actual cause of the transformer exploding in the first place.

Now up on sott.

Sure looks like an increase in atmospheric electrical activity lately!

This beam of whatever reminds me of that Birken current (i am not sure if it is the even correct phrase) that happens on the Sun, which was discussed here on few occasions...

Think you are referring to Birkeland currents.

They are mentioned in Pierre's book, Earth Changes and the Human-Cosmic Connection, with a lot more interesting information too! :)

Yeah that's what I had on me mind!

‘Cerenkov Radiation’
A highly visible signature of neutron fission is “Cerenkov Radiation” or “Cherenkov Light,” When escaping radiation particles—gamma rays—meet the atmosphere, they send up an eerie light-blue light ray nearly to outer space. The color stems from gamma particles moving more rapidly than the speed of light.
At Chernobyl, the chief mechanical engineer for Reactor No. 4 recalls the hypnotic power of Cerenkov Radiation. Minutes after the steam blew off the 2,000-ton concrete cover from the reactor, he stood for a few seconds in the road watching the death-dealing gamma rays rising from it:
“…I could see a huge beam of projected light flooding up to infinity from the reactor. It was like a laser light, caused by the [radiation] ionisation of the air. It was light-bluish and it was very beautiful. I watched it for several seconds. If I’d stood there for just a few minutes, I would probably have died on the spot because of gamma rays and neutrons and everything else that was spewing out.”

There can be little doubt that the ominous blue glow in the above picture of Ground Zero is from Cherenkov radiation.
