In my opinion, 'electronic' and 'electrical' mean the same!
I searched the web and found both, electric and electrical storms. I'd have writ 'electric' instead of 'electrical'. And your example might be an exception to the rule.;-)How about an electrical storm? ;-)

Very nice point, Ymnisnky.
And ... rules are made to be broken:
How would you explain 'electric bill' instead of 'electricity bill'?
Ha.;-)
Yes. I know that in the US they call it 'electric bill'.Hmm, maybe this is related to a difference between AmE and BrE.

While Gillnetter asks who paid the "electric bill" (AmE), emsr2d2 points out he would have paid were it the "electricity bill" (BrE).
I think it would be nice if other members could confirm this.
I've found this old interesting thread, unfortunately closed, regarding "electric" and "electrical":
