Lightning destroys toilet at Oklahoma apartment, fire department reports

“The fan was destroyed and the toilet bowl was severely damaged,” Okmulgee’s Fire Chief Dewayne Hurt told FOX TV Stations.

According to the Okmulgee Fire Department, officials responded to what was reported to be a lightning strike at an apartment complex in Okmulgee — about 40 miles south of Tulsa.

"The fan was destroyed and the toilet bowl was severely damaged," Okmulgee’s Fire Chief Dewayne Hurt told FOX Television Stations Group. "There was a slightly burned rafter in the attic area where we believe the lightning struck." The photos, which quickly went viral across social media, show the bathroom’s shattered and charred toilet seat and fan. In addition, Hurt noted the crew had a small fire to extinguish in the insulation.

According to local news outlet KWCH, the apartment complex said the unit was vacant but was set to be rented out Thursday morning.
