Millions are staring down the prospect of several more days without 
electricity in the middle of a heat wave after severe storms over the 
weekend.
Food is beginning to spoil, and many people have to charge modern 
conveniences like cellphones in their cars or at libraries. Utility 
companies say they are bringing in crews from around the country to 
help, but they still say it could be several days before everyone has 
electricity again.
By Sunday evening, the number of those without power had dipped to 
about 2.7 million customers, down from more than 3 million at the peak 
of the outages.

All of this damage done by a storm that produced no rain. I have never heard of any storm like this in over 50 years. It was not a normal weather event. It was in fact an electrical event in our atmosphere which may have had origins with human activity.
