I can recall back in the summer of 1993 when a strong thunderstorm moved in over one night while I was staying at my grandma's house. It dumped about four inches of rain. I can remember two or three bolts of lightning that were not more than a half mile away. all three set off the railroad crossing arms at a nearby crossing. One even set off a hotbox detector which was roughly six miles from my location of course it said "integrity failure". The next morning the railroad (CNW) had a slow order out due to standing water on the tracks under a nearby bridge. I'm sure there was also a number of signals which were affected by the storms.
