FORT WORTH (WBAP/KLIF News) – A lightning strike left a large hole in the parking lot of a Chevron gas station on Shaydell Dr. and Boat Club Rd. Wednesday morning.

It happened around 6 a.m. as thunder and lightning storms moved across North Texas.

The bolt sent debris flying and left a 15 by 15 feet wide hole, according to the Fort Worth Fire Department.

The department said crews responded to the scene shortly after the hit and have blocked a large section of the parking lot off to deal with the situation.

Fortunately, no one was injured because of the strike.

A reporter at our media partner WFAA TV obtained video of the strike in action.
