Lightning Ignites Fire on Wind Turbine A lightning storm caused quite a shocking scene after it zapped a massive wind turbine in North Texas, setting it ablaze before it came tumbling down.

Shortly after being struck, the wind turbine continued to spin, sending the flames in a loop and leaving rings of smoke behind.

The flames continued to grow and eventually took over the turbine.

The propellers came to a stop as heavy clouds of black smoke swarmed the sky.

The turbine propellers are seen dropping one by one as the flames continue to grow.
