Lightning Storm Struck Out Power in Ladyville, Rancho Dolores

If you were in the city, last night's thunderstorm probably just made you shudder in your bed, but elsewhere in the Belize District lightning struck power lines and caused outages. BEL reports that at five minutes to one, Ladyville, Rancho Dolores and some areas of Belize City were affected by power outages which lasted anywhere from an hour to over 5 hours. BEL reports that lightning damaged two of its main lines, and power was not fully restored in rancho until this afternoon.
