Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	A warm unstable air mass, and several upper level disturbances, helped spark a multi-day period of strong to severe thunderstorms. Several clusters of thunderstorms, including apparent derechos, caused widespread wind damage and isolated reports of large hail across central Alabama.
Event narrativeevent_narrative	A lightning strike at the Alabama Department of Transportation office in Talladega caused considerable damage, both to the outdoor grounds and to equipment on the inside. The lightning apparently struck a flag pole in front of the building, and then ran down the pole into the ground. The underground current created a small ditch and blew out a portion of a concrete sidewalk. From there it continued into the building, burning down an awning, blowing out a window, and ultimately frying several pieces of computer equipment. Damage to the grounds was estimated around $2000 to $3000 dollars, with the computer equipment between $10,000 and $20,000.
