Most likely steam not smoke...
lightning doing some real damage especially in central

[Underground Master]

El Dorado no power

No power in st clair. Low voltage for a 30 seconds then back to normal. Took a walk to the bank and there was no power by that time. Could comfirm the steam by powergen. Prolly took some of the turbines out of service and venting the steam.

I don't know what's causing the white smoke.


But I know it's aliens.
