Lightning Ignites Methane Gas In Septic System, Toilet Explodes

A Florida couple was having a relaxing Sunday morning listening to the storms, until MaryLou Ward heard a loud bang.

"It was the loudest noise I’ve ever heard," she said.

That noise was the sound of the couple’s toilet exploding after their septic tank got struck by lightning.

"We gout out of bed and came over here, and the toilet was laying on the floor," Ward said. Her porcelain toilet had blown to pieces.

The company that’s now working to repair the bathroom explained how it all happened.
