18 Pictures That Make Me Wonder Why We All Aren't More Afraid Of Lightning
1. This toilet that was INDOORS and lightning struck it by traveling through air vents in the apartment building.
LIGHTNING STRIKE HITS TOILET: Okmulgee crews say they had a bizarre lightning call. They say the lightning came through the vent and struck the toilet, shattering it. Nobody lives in that unit, but crews tell me they were told it was supposed to be rented out this morning. pic.twitter.com/wYraUnopOW

2. This airplane that looks like it got into a knife fight with the lightning and lost.
N839AA / 8LW is the American #Airlines Boeing 787-9 that took the lightning strike on Feb 20, operating Fl. 60 #Tokyo #NRT to #DFW. This frame is now out of action for a bit. pic.twitter.com/WCLVDC4W88

3.This tree that was rendered naked from the lightning. Like, look at all that bark on the ground.
4.Though that last tree didn't have it as bad as this one, split down the middle by lightning so perfectly that it looks like two cauliflower steaks.
5.This mailbox that got blown to smithereens by a bolt of lightning.
6.This lightning that managed to get a hole in one.
7.This BISON that was casually living its life and then *bam* lightning.
8.This tree that was struck and left smoldering.
9.This cement that was no match for it. Something about the crackles radiating from the center makes it look so much scarier.
10.This fishing rod that, with the help of a little lightning strike, looks like it should be cast in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
11.This cactus that had the gross misfortune of being in that place at that time.
12.This dirt that was struck by lightning and turned into glass.
13.This truck that just got absolutely melted by a lightning strike.
14.These "red sprites," rare lightning that forms over a supercell which is harmless but unbelievably creepy.
15.This man casually walking along when it looks like lightning travels down his umbrella and gets him in the arm.
16.This fossilized lightning. I didn't know it was a thing until right now, but apparently, lightning can instantly fossilize dirt and sediment to make it.
17. This wind turbine and its incredibly sad update.
Update - this is the turbine now (taken using his phone + a telescope he has). pic.twitter.com/sAFvicYfxT

18.Finally, this recycling bin that, quite frankly, stood no chance.
