| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kate H |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Changed colors! From green to orange, fire flames, back to green. It was literally an explosion that created the orange flames.. reminded me of watch a combustion engine backfire blowing flames and sparks out it's tailpipe. I was driving down i-20 in light traffic. It was directly in front of me over the road so I'm positive all other eastbound cars would have seen it too! |
