A roof at a gas station in Orange County, Fla., collapsed during a storm Monday night and damaged a minivan underneath, according to Local 6 News.
The structure fell at the RaceTrac station on Kirkman Road.
RaceTrac employees said they thought lightning struck the building.
"It was really quick, like the whole sky coming down," employee Larosia Richards said. "I mean everybody really got scared."
No one was injured in the collapse.
Inspectors think too much water pooled on top of the roof, Local 6 News reported.
The van under the roof belongs to the shift manager.
