The storm we had yesterday, the lightning hit 7 of our storage tanks. One of the guys could see it from his porch. They said there was a mushroom cloud, then black smoke. Fire trucks from 3 surrounding towns showed up, but there wasn't much they could do.

This is the one that took the direct hit. The lightning strike blew it into the pit.

Thanks, it's really in the middle of nowhere, so at least there was a slim chance of someone getting hurt.
