'Investigating a transformer explosion at Astoria East & North Queens Con Ed power plant,' the NYPD 114th Precint said on Twitter. 'Please avoid 20th Ave & 31 st.'

NYPD News posted: 'ADVISORY: The lights you have seen throughout the city appear to have been from a transformer explosion at a Con Ed facility in Queens. The fire is under control, will update as more info becomes available. Follow @fdny, @NYPD114pct and @conedison.' 

Con Ed added that it is working with the NYPD on the matter and will provide updates over time. 

'The NYPD and the FDNY are on scene at a Con Ed facility in Astoria where an apparent transformer explosion just lit up the sky over the city,' said Mayor Bill de Blasio. 'As soon as we have more information, we will share it.' 

Reports soon came in that La Guardia had lost power and that the airport had closed as a result. 

'Small, blue explosion near LaGuardia has knocked out power at the airport and surrounding area,' said user Mason Mccoy. 'Unclear what the cause is.. everything (exiting, boarding, security, etc.) is frozen until they figure it out. #lga'

The user would later update Twitter when the airport had restored its power. 

'Update: Power has been restored but activity still at a stand still,' he added. 'Passengers are able to de-plane via stairs. Looks like departing passengers are being held back until security check points are back up and running.'

According to the utility outage map for Con Edison, there were only 76 who were said to have lost power. 

Spectators were mesmerized by the bright flashes of blue that illuminated the cloudy night sky. Folks all the way out in Jersey City reported seeing the flashy lights.

A man named Nick Riccardo shared a video of the actual explosion as it took place outside his window. 

'The transformer explosion in Astoria was... right outside my window,' he said. 'So bright I couldn’t look directly at it.'

One user said: 'Anyone else see this blue light in the sky just now in Brooklyn or NYC? #trippystuff #Skyline.'

Karol Markowicz said: 'Wtf if this insane bright blue light over Brooklyn?!?'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
