Posted this last night, so I'll throw it on again for those who missed it. We had an energetic thunderstorm here on Friday morning, and one strike targeted an old church in our downtown area. The bolt blasted part of the stone spire apart, raining debris down on to the street below, including a block of stone weighing 4000 lbs.
There must have been some moisture in the stone that got vaporized by the strike, blowing it apart as the gas expanded inside.
