How a thunderstorm actually causes power outages.
In: Engineering
There’s an “army of hamsters” running in wheels at places called a power plant. This generates static electricity like you might feel from an inflated ballon or when you rub your feet to stock your family.
When lighting from a thunder storm knock over one of the “hamsters”, they are stunned and need some time to get back on the wheel. Human workers called engineers are paid to called them.
Sometimes the lighting hits a power line, that causes the “hamster’s” static to not reach us. They are running, running, running but need human engineers to fix the power lines before the hamsters can give us static.
