     In the 90s, after a major earthquake in LA, callers flooded 911 with reports of an ominous glowing cloud spreading over the city

     because the power was out

     and it was dark

     and they could see the Milky Way

     @designatednerd This is an LA-specific reference I do not understand, but given the source, I just assume it’s on point
