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.
The firenado was caused when a bolt of lighting hit the ground setting a fire which was in the path of a tornado, which sucked up the flames, creating a terrifying spiraling inferno.

I choose to believe that this was Butch Hopkins taking another sip.
Was a coke factory hit, too?

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 :-(
