Lightning Strike Causes Toilet In Port Charlotte Home To Explode
NOVATO, CA - FEBRUARY 05: Benjamin Franklin Plumbing technician Todd Snider prepares to install a 0.8 gallon per flush ultra-low flow toilet at a home on February 5, 2014 in Novato, California. Californians are installing water saving devices in their homes like low flow toilets, shower heads and aerators as residents are being asked to voluntarily reduce water by twenty percent as California is experiencing its driest year on record. Some counties have imposed mandatory reductions in water use and have banned watering of lawns. California Gov. Jerry Brown officially declared a drought emergency earlier in the month to speed up assistance to local governments, streamline water transfers and potentially ease environmental protection requirements for dam releases.

This weekend Marylou Ward said she heard the loudest bang she ever heard and when she went to check, She found her toilet in hundreds of pieces.
Marylou says that her and her husband walked in the bathroom and saw her toilet on the floor. She goes on to say that the damage was visible in and outside of the house 24 hours later. The master bedroom window was also shattered. The plumber said the lightning hit the methane gases from fecal matter that had built up in the pipes. No one was hurt but they have a lot of cleaning to do.
