General Gameplay Please introduce lightning storms! 🌩

To give storms a sense of variation, why not introduce a lightning storm? In a regular storm, the main issue is to make sure the buildings remain intact and the dinosaurs don't reach their negative comfort zone. In a lightning storm, the issue now arrives in which the park's power supply is in greater risk.

In a lightning storm, it will be like any other storm in which the effects of buildings breaking and dinosaur losing comfort is there. Now there is the added element in which your power stations and sub stations would be disabled from lightning strikes. This would be similar to the tornado storms in terms of danger, however, if the tornado is predictable but unstoppable, the lightning storm is easy to fix but hard to predict. A lightning strike could happen to any of your substations and power station, and when lightning strikes the power station, it will disable the power output of the substation or power station. This will make the situation tense as you have to go around different locations of your park to keep your power on. Especially because it would increase the chances of dinosaur escapes by making the electric fences connected to these substations powerless if said power stations are struck, making the effort to fix the substations a priority to make sure the dinosaurs do not use this chance to escape, or disable your ACU and Ranger station if a substation that powers them is struck.
 
The existing storms are lightning storms, and they already do pretty much exactly what you're suggesting (except that they can hit any building, not just power buildings) If you listen carefully and your POV is near where it strikes, you can hear the thunder just before you get the damaged building notification.
