In west Texas, vandals use power transformer bushings for target practice all the time.


Which is a lot different from dumping a mag into one of the expensive and hard to replace components at a substation, then driving around to another substation and doing the same thing again. The large oil filled transformers get really expensive really fast.


I mean, it sounds like something that drunk or just stupid kids might do. Like smashing mailboxes, but scaled up.


The scale doesn't imply simple drunkness.


Two substations shot up? That could be one guy with a rifle. Or a small group.
