CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. – A Florida couple's toilet was blown to pieces Sunday during a thunderstorm, WBBH reports.
It was a relaxing morning for Marylou Ward, her husband and three dogs listening to the rain and rumbles of thunder until she heard a "boom."
"It was the loudest noise I've ever heard, "Ward said. "We got out of bed and came over here and the toilet was laying on the floor."
The plumbing company helping to repair Ward's pipes says the lightning struck near the septic tank.
The lightning strike, combined with methane gas in the septic tank, caused a bomb like effect.

It’s an exploding toilet story. The “Florida” can be inferred from context.
“...life was simpler and safer when we lived outdoors...”
Yeah... back then, the lightning only hit the Outhouse...
Uh huh, the husband blames it on the lightening.
“You don’t have to lie about it anymore, there’s new and improved Beano!”
Suuuuuure- blame it on the lightening-
Tank-ew, tank-ew.. d;^)
Holy Crap!
Is the guy dangling with his head stuck in the ceiling?

As Frankie and Willie would say:
Geez ... I HATE when that happens ...
Obviously White Supremacy in its most basic form.
White Lightning anyone?
How was Florida man involved?
It was his toilet...............
That would be “Third World Lightning” since the toilets are now broken.
I’ve long known not to take a shower during thunderstorms. I was once shocked slightly during a storm while bathing, never again.
First it was Florida Man in the news
Then Florida Woman got jealous and started showing her butt
Now Florida Home?????
WTH is going on in Florida?
What next?
Florida tree?
Florida car?
"Every Halloween, the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the toilets explode."
Must have been one of those new-fangled, low-flow toilets. There was a time when a toilet could stand up to a little lightning strike.
