View of Omaha, Neb. with flames coming from a manhole in the street (djtacoman via Reddit)

Fire is bursting up through the streets of Omaha

1/28/2013

If you happen to be in the Omaha, Neb., area, take care and be mindful of the flames shooting up through the city's manholes. A sewer fire has caused power outages in one section of town and also created the perfect circumstances for dramatic pictures of fire erupting through from the ground up like hellfire as shown in the photo above. Omaha Public Power District Vice President Tim Burke speculates that because of past, unseasonably dry weather, a recent wet spell could have allowed moisture to get into cables and sparked the blaze.
