Lightning struck a steel utility pole near the city's Municipal Power Plant on Business Loop 70 at about 8:20 a.m. today, causing power outages to city electric customers between Providence Road and College Avenue, from Business Loop 70 East to just south of Broadway.
The strike shorted three insulators, and power to the affected circuit was rerouted. Electricity was restored to the majority of residents in the area by 9 a.m., and all the power was restored to customers by 10:30 am., said Connie Kacprowicz, spokeswoman for the Columbia Water and Light Department. She said she did not know how many customers lost power.

Question: Silicon -- sandy beaches are loaded with it, as is much of Earth's surface. So what's so special about the stuff that it lent its name to California's "Silicon Valley," symbol of the Computer Age?
Answer: It was long thought there are conductors like metals that conduct electricity and insulators like glass or wood or cork that don't, says David Bodanis in "Electric Universe." But the element silicon (Si), it was discovered, is a "semiconductor," sometimes acting as an insulator, sometimes as a conductor.
