This or some other group, maybe anti-oil nut jobs.

Pretty sure a facility like this has lightning protections.

NOTHING like that comes up in a search, other than a natural gas plant explosion in July last year.

I grew up in an oil/petrochem town. Pretty much all my relatives and both my brothers and I as well as our father also, both from the construction and the operations side. I have seen big bulk tank fires, and it is pretty intimidating, one was an extra-large size one, containing gasoline additives, that got hit by lightning and ignited.So yeah, there are protections and protocols, but it is an inherently dangerous job, creating flammable fuels and other metro products.

A shame to hear. My folks were oil tank farmers. This was back in the day though, the oil tanks they grew weren't anywhere near the size they come up today, with the genetic modification and specialty mixes and whatnot.

My granddaddy was a sharecropper on an oil tank farm in southern Oklahoma.

After that he was given 3.50 acres and a chicken.

We planted watermelons the next year.

Times was good.

"Lightning" strike or missile strike? Methinks the latter....

Lightning rods may make sense for these types of businesses, this would be hit by the lightning and grounded away from storage of this type and others. Houses generally now are grounded by the electric companies when they put in the meters. It wouldn't hurt to have extras on the homes you live in. It's an old type of thing but why shake your head at something that worked?

I used to build these tank batteries in my younger days. It's literally, like one big hunk of iron that has a ground rod 10,000 feet deep.

Absolutely every piece of equipment is tied together with iron pipe that is grounded at every opportunity. there is lots of splody stuff on locations and ya don't want a static spark.
