A guy in town lost his barn yesterday. Lightning, a barn built 300 years ago, and a bunch of hay - not a good mix. Actually only part of the barn was that old, a lot was added on and changed over time, but still sad to see it go.
To make it worse, he just bought a kubota tractor and parked it in the barn a few hours before these pictures. There was also a 1940's era dodge pickup truck - us Navy with under 4000 original miles. An old sleigh, some amish buggies, a lot more than just hay.
Complete loss.
But at least the firemen kept it from spreading to the house which isn't that far away - in fact in one of these pictures you can see a fire engine parked surprisingly close to the barn, that was to help shield the house.
Nobody was hurt - which of course is what matters the most - people or animals.
I lost track of time while it burned, but all I can say is it didn't take long at all. The fire station is about 1/8 of a mile away from the barn, and it was called in right after the lightning hit, but it went so fast it just didn't matter. It's completely gone.
