Droptail Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Lightning struck a church in Georgia recently and caused it to be destroyed in a fire: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xfvcvd_pastor-says-lightning-destroyed-church-in-overnight-fire_news Don't know about a list, but lightning striking and causing churches to burn seems to be a pretty regular occurrence.

BrotherJosh Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Over here in Idaho, lightning struck a golden Nephi (?) statue on top of a Mormon Temple... gave me a chuckle. I'm surprised those things don't get hit more often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

par4dcourse Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 The "million l.e.d." extravaganza and 8 room live nativity scene at Charlotte Motor Speedway was destroyed by severe thunderstorms Monday night, the night it opened. Like nature flicked an annoying bug off it's shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wylekat Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I took one look at that monstrosity in Ohio, and Dubbed it Cream Cheezus. Odd how religious statues here in the Us are getting the scorch by lightening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vomit Comet Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Odd how religious statues here in the Us are getting the scorch by lightening. Maybe because God gets pissed off at how tacky they are? I mean, shit, anybody who's ever seen any of the cathedrals of Europe knows that God's got some pretty fine taste!
