Shortly before sunrise Wednesday, an expected implosion in Avon Lake was done on portions of the city's historic power plant around 5:40 a.m.

It came after the city issued an alert at 5:08 a.m. that the planned implosion "will occur within the next 30 minutes."

The implosion was captured live during the "GO!" morning show -- and you can watch the moment in the video at the top of this story.

"Please avoid the area and remain indoors with the windows closed," according to the alert from the city before the implosion. "Roads adjacent to the power plant property will be closed for the safety of motorists, find an alternate route if necessary. Air quality monitoring is underway, and notification will occur once the area has been deemed safe. If you hear the implosions, there is no need to contact emergency services as they will be on site."

The city then issued an updated alert at 6:44 a.m. that said the area around the power plant "has been determined to be safe and clear" with normal activities able to resume.
