I know this seems like a stretch but given the premise that lightning caused three industrial events all on the same day, within hours of each other, seems suspect. While so far the Texas event is the only serious one, the Oklahoma event injured 12 people even though the article sighted doesn't state it. And the LaSalle Nuclear Power Plant is an ongoing event.
The events are listed here, if you have more to add post it to this link and I will add them to the main post.

Even if these events are just a coincidence, it's pretty fucking scary that we are "developing" a lightning weapon.
