- Abstract
- A central computer processing facility is forced to close to replace damaged components...A municipal service dispatch station loses its transmitter, and hundreds of homes and businesses are without police and fire protection...An electrical power generating plant is automatically shut down due to erroneous computer data...The common denominator in all these cases is lightning.
