Daily Mail ^ | 9/4/15 | Darren Boyle

A Jim Beam warehouse in Kentucky was struck by lightning releasing 800,000 gallons of bourbon into a nearby lake. Then, the lake was hit by a 'firenado' setting the inflammable liquid alight.

Guess you two are too young to remember when gasoline tankers were marked "INFLAMMABLE".

LOL! Not really, but thanks for thinking so!

I choose to believe that this was Butch Hopkins taking another sip.

Was a coke factory hit, too?

If it was John Jameson’s Irish Whiskey, he would have been able to figure something out to save it...

If it was Jack Daniels or Rebel Yell I’d be crushed.

That’s today’s date.

It happened in 2003, which probably accounts for the poor quality of the video.

Here is a video posted in 2011: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SyX2NUEkKk

The Weather Channel posted video of an example of a 'firenado', an interesting meteorological phenomenon. The Daily Mail saw it and thought it was news. But it happened in 2003.

It's truly a tragedy to see so many bright , young gallons with such promising futures taken from us prematurely at such an early age :-(
