I'd hate to see how lit up the sky has to be to qualify as a "serious issue"!

Tesla's Back? Huge electrical flash caught on camera (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNY2LTJ0NDA#)

Several of the commenters mention a transformer as source of explosion. Probably true. They do go up all the time under the right circumstances and the flash is essentially a welding arc on a very large scale. The small plume of smoke (not exactly a mushroom cloud) is also indicative of a minor issue rather than something catastrophic.
