Ever seen one like that? Took a direct lightning hit and was laying on the ground. The whole road was on fire. Found the lid a week later about 100m away.

No and I wouldn't want to find one in that condition. Today had a 500kva pad mount that the elbows where at 122 degrees and the xformer case was reading 168 degrees. Barricaded it off, turned it in to management and could not get away from it quick enough....
