Power outage - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

So I was leavin walmart and the second I get outside all of the power goes out everywhere. No backup generators or anything kick on and it's raining like crazy. At the same time I saw what look to be a lightning strike over by home depot. So I left to go home and it turns out that someone drove off the road and nailed a huge electrical box on the corner of steamboat and veterans. Be careful if you are driving in these conditions.

Is that why everything keeps browning out around here?

I did hear you actually. I thought I would see you but I guess you went the other way.
