Sometime around 5 p.m. today I experienced a power outage--it didn't last long but it did cause all my electrical clocks to be reset. I was sitting in my living by a large window. I first saw a very bright light explosion outside my house and a large boom...but not like thunder. I ran outside to see if a nearby transformer may have blown and detected nothing. Would you clarify what caused the outage?
