Quick search shows lots of tornado warnings for that area. Tornado cause power distribution transformers to explode... search lights help with locating them. Location information is sent to the power company for faster repair times.

>Tornado cause power distribution transformers to explode
This is a good theory however I heard a transformer explode once. There was a single loud shriek, then a deafening explosion. My coworker described something more like an alarm, going on and off.
>search lights help with locating them
The search lights thing would make sense, except 1) these were military vehicles, not electrical repair vehicles, and 2) out in the country, nobody is going out to repair a transformation when a storm is still on the way. They would wait until the next day if you're lucky, or even a two or three day wait.

The shriek is the initial rupture of the transformer casing, releasing pressure before it flies apart.

>out in the country
Military (national guard) often helps in remote areas to help restore services to people. Based on experience. same with transformers.

Best way to rule it out would be call the local power company and see if any transformers were lost in the area at that time. There was hella weather for sure.

Wow, that's freaking crazy. I was in a mall parking lot when I saw a transformer explode, and it was loud enough that people were leaping into the air or ducking like bombs were dropping, it was kind of hilarious.
>Military (national guard) often helps in remote areas to help restore services to people. Based on experience. same with transformers.
No brother I'm telling you, nobody out here is going to send out military or repair guys BEFORE a storm to fix something, that's just not the way it works. I'd be kind of surprised if it worked that way anywhere quite frankly.
>Best way to rule it out would be call the local power company and see if any transformers were lost in the area at that time. There was hella weather for sure.
But a transformer isn't going to make a repeating alarm type sound. It wasn't a transformer, there's just no way. This guy described a repeating wailing sound, and this was after the boom. If the initial boom was a transformer, then why was it followed by a weird, unnatural sounding alarm? Is there such a thing as a broken transformer alarm that notifies the military???

It definitely is an odd unknown.
Second best guess, strategic parts of satellite or other orbiting space 'things'.

Would make sense to have an uncommon alarm sounding to help locate such items. 

There are trip alarms near transformers and some have light indicators. Spot check while driving around would tell the tale. 

You are right though... assistance usually comes after the destructive event. not during.

>How about the boom was an explosion, an IED attack on the base, the sirens were the base going on full alert & the jeeps were hunting for the attacker/s after they ran away like any scaredypoof terrorist does?
That would be something! I can't imagine anyone lobbing a single RPG at Fort Knox and then running lol. Would keep those fat fucks busy though lol!


>lol these glowie larps are the least clever i read here. all i can say is you still have time to save yourself from their vengeance and upcoming obliteration but that requires a shift from destructive-based consciousness to compassion-based.
What?? You sound like a broken bot. Yeah my post lacks compassion, you nailed it man.


>Second best guess, strategic parts of satellite or other orbiting space 'things'.
Now that is interesting! That would certainly explain the immediate military presence.
