Huge power outages have hit large parts of Spain and Portugal. Airports have lost power, traffic lights and phone lines are down, the Madrid underground has been evacuated and trains have been stopped. Follow the latest here.
AFAIK, this happens when certain conditions are set and then arcs induce air waves that can cause damage to nearby systems. They also talked about rapidly changing temperatures at some places and if I understood it correctly, then it is the case that moist and rough surfaces of electric equipment can increase the likelihood and severity of things like that, but rapidly changing temperatures can cause moist surfaces.
Induced atmospheric vibration.
