Lighting from a thunderstorm was blamed for damaging power lines outside the Wings Resale Shop at 756 E. Northwest Highway in Palatine (IL) on June 18, 2010. Firefighters were kept at bay until the power company could cut power to the lines as the building had become charged. The fire that was initially believed to be successfully battled ending up consuming the entire building in a pretty spectacular display.
