It happened on pierce and Hayes. It blew the ground pg&e panel off and flung it a block away without hurting anyone. I have a picture but can’t find where to upload it on this app.

Anyone know where the explosion took place? I live near post and Pierce very close to where the explosions happened last week. About a half hour ago I definitely heard an explosion and worried that something similar was happening. Indeed these problems are not contained and that seem to be spreading... 💥 🤯
