Lightning Safety at Walt Disney World

The Examiner takes a look at lightning safety at Walt Disney and all of Central Florida:

"Guests traveling on one of the Walt Disney World monorails were evacuated after the monorail lost power [a few Sundays ago].  This malfunction left more than 100 guests stranded in the air waiting for Disney to fix the cause and return power to the monorail tracks.  When power could not immediately be restored, all of the guests were evacuated and brought to safety thanks to the efforts of Reedy Creek Fire Service
.
According to Fox News, the Disney Parks have not confirmed what caused the power outage; however, several guests riding the monorail claimed they saw lighting strike the track just before it stopped operating.  Since the Central Florida area is known for its abundance of lighting strikes throughout the summer months, it is a possibility that Mother Nature had something to do with Sunday’s failure."
