Elyria residents faced extensive outages from winds and lightning and a transformer inflator failure at an Elyria substation. When power returned, surges damaged appliances and electronics across many homes including a Glenwood Street resident who lost a DVD player a 35 inch TV an air conditioner a ceiling fan and a satellite receiver. A surge protector saved a computer but failed to save the TV and VCR. Neighbors reported related damage in the Gulf Road area as Ken and Mary Gibbons discussed their newly remodeled kitchen.
