So far, no reported house/business fires as of 1:00am...As I'm typing this, an electrical structural fire being reported near Barrett ave and Edwards St at Morton ave. Sounds like an electrical box.

12:50am update...
2814 S Third St - Transformer fire, sparks along wires down toward the stadium
------------------
Ok, I'm awake. I was asleep, but no more. That was some intense lightning a few minutes ago. At 12:40 am, about 100 customers in Valley Station with no power, mainly due to lightning. My lights flickered, messed up the alarms, etc....Now, the heavy rain is moving in.

Pleasure Ridge Park is also reporting outages, a little less than 100 now. As far as Jefferson county goes, the number is over 300. That number should rise as long as the lightning remains this intense.

Checking for housefires on scanners this morning. Updates may be forthcoming.
