You know that and I know that, but it made the news cycle. I don't think it was much of a transformer, judging from the smoke cloud.

Look closely, Transformer has only left 2 bushings, right bushing you can see the power line leaving, but not the right bushing.

Hottest is 27,000,000 F.
So I guess it depends where you choose to take your vacation.

I have heard of dry type transformers, and SF6 cooled transformers, but I don't know of any power companies that currently use them for generator GSU's or aux transformers.
But you know things do fail. And with the lack of water, it is likely that any one unit could be taken off line without a constraint that the water level doesn't already offer.
