NORTHWEST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - An iguana met an unfortunate end after it crawled onto a power line in Northwest Miami-Dade.

According to officials, the reptile came into contact with a high-voltage line and exploded, Friday morning.

“I was in the front yard and I heard a loud noise, like an explosion,” said a resident of the area.

The resulting explosion knocked out power to 16 homes in the area near Northwest 139th Street and 10th Avenue.

Power has since been restored.
