Wow, either the lightning blew H1A's bushing completely out of the tank or someone disconnecting it did. I am not sure because H1C is grounded out which someone would have to do with a hot stick. There is oil all over the tank from H1A's bushing well, if that one was done with a hot stick it's probably all over the operator too.

Edit-Upon closer examination H1C's bushing is capped and the cap has a brown charred look like the rest of the equipment. It must not have been connected. Also, H2A's bushing looks broken and about to fall off. Seems like A phase took it pretty hard.
