Something interesting for all you operational folks... got this from a customer.
I've seen some amazing disasters, but I think your customer passed along an urban legend. 38 people taken to a hospital, 8 cars destroyed, coverage by television in five states; and I can't find any published reports in the newswire databases. Unless my math is very wrong, I don't understand how a 300 amp surge could damage that much stuff.
