800,000 Gallons of Jim Beam Released into a Kentucky Lake, Hit by Lightning, Ignited, and Sucked into a Tornado

My mom used to sing me a song when I was little.

“If the ocean were whiskey, and I were a duck… I’d dive to the bottom and never come up.”  (Maybe this nursery rhyme only happens in Tennessee homes.)

In a similar spirit, this is the oddest video ever!  The Daily Mail has a crazy story (hat tip: Debby Witt):

A Jim Beam warehouse in Kentucky was struck by lightning releasing 800,000 gallons of bourbon into a nearby lake in 2003. 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 spiralling inferno.

Yes.  This really happened. Watch the video from the Weather Channel below (there’s a voice over, so make sure your volume is on.)
