What would make Four transformers blow? Someone hack the SCADA systems/ Suxnet? Or just plain ol electrical problems—maybe its copper thieves, eh?!

you can see transformer after transformer blow as a tornado cruises through almost any urban area.

Ain't no thang ~ on the other hand, this looks to be a major distribution transformer station ~ so it'd have several banks that could blow under overload conditions.

Thought they fixed this problem with those supercapacity capacitors
