First reindeer, then a Prius, now cows.
A lightning strike killed 19 cows this week during a Texas storm, KLTV reported.
The cows were huddled around a tree, taking shelter from the storm.

"All of a sudden, a lightning bolt came down and the cows just fell," witness Victor Benson said.
The 19 cows accounted for about one-third of the herd in the pasture at the time. The farmers who owned the herd have hundreds of other cows in the area, KLTV reported.
