Explosion Next to my Office

When I first felt it, i thought it was an earthquake but it sounded something worse than just a quake. Something had just exploded like a loud big boom of thunder. My coworkers and I looked outside the windows and we saw smokes coming from Crocker Galleria next to us. Pedestrians were running away from the flames. It looked like the flames were coming from Palph Lauren polo store. My coworker and I were wondering was this another terrorist attack? We waited no time, one of the guys told everyone to leave the office. As we informed the office, we heard sirens coming from all directions. Quickly, we evacuted from the office and waited for further notice in the lobby. For the next 10-15min, noone really knew what was happening. We just heard sirens coming from everywhere. So, we decided to go home for our own safety.

I found out from the news online. There were an electricity vault which has bunch of electricity supplies coming below the manhole that exploded the transformer and caused the fire burst in flames, burned a 41yo woman and burnt the Ralph Lauren store. The cops blocked off a few streets and electricty went in split second around Kearny and Post streets.
