Thinking back on that “electrical” smell...
The sharp, slightly burnt yet clean odor you smell after a lightning strike is ozone, generated by the bolt coursing through the air.
It is also the smell you get from an electrical mishap like a breaker releasing or an outlet faulting.
Pretty common odor in utility sub-station yards.
May be significant, may not be...
The electrical smell has been in the air nonstop for several days.
It’s given me a headache and watery eyes.
