Telephone call with client

I just hung up with a client located on the E40's in Manhattan. Tons of sirens to the point where he felt compelled to check on what was up.
He came back to the phone and said there had just been a massive explosion near their building, and that they were evacuating.
Any NYC Freepers have any information on this? Happened at 6 PM EDT or there abouts.

Nothing on FOX Five local at 6:10.
In weather like this I always think transformer...but I was wrong in 1993.

Im about a mile from the chrysler building, direct line of sight, the cloud reached halfway up the building.
I see the puffs as the NYFD must be putting it out. But it was a big big cloud

Major electrical substations and transformers are underground in vented enclosures in urban areas of that density. When they totally blow, they make a lot of smoke and a corresponding big boom. Hopefully, that is the extent of it.

If it’s a fire, black smoke means it’s building up,
White smoke means the fire crews are putting water on it.
