I heard about it getting struck by lightning, but didn't realize it was made of so many non-biodegradable materials (I thought it was made of cement or stone). Gack, that's going to be an ugly mess to clean up.
Evidently it's a steel armature covered with styroform, which was then covered with a fiberglass shell. Pure plastic, and it probably smelled AWFUL when it burned.
Reminds me of the Summer in the Annapolis Valley where there were over a dozen churches struck by lightning. All Baptist. All the other churches were left alone.
I found it odd that they didn't see this as a sign from God.
