The town and surrounding landscape are under a constant barrage of storms. Not only are people being struck by lightning within the town but any vehicle or person trying to leave the city limits of Lakeview are instantly struck by lightning. The number of deaths due to lightning strikes in Lakeview in one week is larger than the amount the whole world has seen in the last 5 years.

Last night, one of them came through Lakeview and tore down all the power lines, including the transformer for the incoming transmission line from the power plant on the edge of town. All the wires are chewed up and torn, and there are deep claw marks on the utility poles, which luckily are still standing. The residents of Lakeview are pretty spooked.
