We had a frightening hour-long "electric attack" in my home village in Lebanon two decades ago. Purely due to negligence on the part of those in charge of the electricity at the time.
I was watching the news this morning, it looks like it is leaning to a couple of things electrical issues that caused a fire and set off poorly stored ammonium nitrate. It's going to take years for them to recover from this. They are not only dealing with that, but the pandemic too, and the chemical fallout too. And the lack of power.
