Yeesh:

NEW ORLEANS (AP)—A bolt of lightning struck the ship capturing oil from a blown-out BP well in the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, igniting a fire that halted containment efforts in another setback for the embattled company in its nearly two-month struggle to stop the spill, the company said.

Quite the backdrop for Obama's 5 p.m. PST address to the nation tonight.
