Lightening Strike Leaves 120,000 Homes Without Power

The Daily Mail reports on a lightening strike late Monday in California:

A bolt of lightning knocked out power to around 120,00 homes in southern California during a storm on Monday.
 
The fork of lightning struck a major bank of transformers at the Rector Station, just outside Visalia on Road 148 and Caldwell, causing it to burst into flames. 
Firefighters battled for an hour to control the blaze but thousands of homes were without power last night and for many, it will not be restored until this evening, according to ABC30.
