Funny comment in the link "No more pooping while it’s storming outside."

Not sure how the septic got hit by lighting...
Mine is under a few feet of dirt in the lawn, and there's a 150' tree very close by as well as a roofline that's a good 30' above the lawn.
I'll keep using my toilet.

Mine did the same thing after a really bad bean burrito. I told my insurance agent it was lightning also.

It looks like they will be using the poop pail for a while.....

Like a BOMB, maybe, but a Missile? Just like the one that hit the Pentagon I guess. Don't take my word for it. Rumsfelt said so himself.

Try explaining that one to your insurance adjuster.

Hi Flo, my hi-flo loo went kablooey.

LOL, methane has a habit of going BOOM

Hope you weren't sitting on it at the time.

LOL, reminds me of using a public loo at a major department store.
For some reason when I flushed a geyser exploded from the throne and did a job of painting me with an undesirable mess.
I politely requested a minimum change of clothes but got laughed at.
To make a long story short I wrote to senior management and made a claim for damages and was compensated adequately.
Had they not ridiculed me and simply offered minimal clean clothing I would not have taken the issue higher up.
