This was shot by a fellow storm chaser/video photog in Lamesa-TX last Friday (May 15).
Lightning had reportedly stuck this small tank farm and started the fire- then during the firefight- one then a 2nd tank BLEVEs (explodes) and sends debris everywhere.
Notice the handline water stream behind the aerial water stream during the explosions. It appeared firefighters dropped that line and ran.
Thankfully- the photographer was about 200 yards away. Tank debris hit the back of his news van- damaging it.
Here is a slow-motion video of the same shot.
Reportedly- no one was injured in this spectacular blast.
