Episode narrativeepisode_narrative	An approaching cold front helped trigger thunderstorms that were prolific lightning producers.
Event narrativeevent_narrative	Thunderstorms produced about 2,300 cloud-to-surface lightning strikes in Sussex County and the nearby waters between 11 p.m. EDT and Midnight EDT. Two lightning strikes caused damage. Lightning struck the chimney of an unoccupied unit of a townhouse complex in Port Lewes. The ensuing fire spread along the exterior of the unit to the adjoining unit in the complex. The residents of that unit were evacuated. Four fire companies battled the blaze. Damage was estimated at $150,000. No serious injuries were reported. In Rehoboth Beach, the fire station and city hall were struck by lightning. The strike fried the 911 system. The combination of wind and lightning caused about 7,000 homes and businesses to lose power in Sussex County. All power was restored by 3 a.m. EDT on the 17th.\|
