Here's a hollywood-ish story:
A think a year ago this drunk, rich dude was drinking (as drunk, rich dudes do) during a thunderstorm, and bam his house is hit by lightening and catches on fire. So, in a drunken stupor, the bastard gets into his humvee (because the phone lines are out he can't call the fire department) and speeds into the side of a huge house part of a hotel complex. Luckily a cop sees him but can't understand a word he's saying so the guy's house burns down. This happened in my home town. Funny, eh?
