episode_narrativeA flurry of lightning activity resulted in several small forest and grass fires near Pagosa Springs, as well as extensive damage to a radio station in Pagosa Springs. A house in Pagosa Springs also received minor damage after being struck by lightning. One lightning strike hit a broadcast communications tower and blew the metal grounding balls off of the base. Another nearby lightning strike occurred seconds later, striking a chain link fence which carried the current on a path to the electronics within the radio station. Among the items destroyed were the electronic weather instruments, computers, monitors, the satellite receiver system, and the telephone system.
