[TowerTalk] OT: Propane Tank near lightning ground

[Red]

Two thoughts:

The underground tank is subject to corrosion that will not be seen.

A leak underground may, as happened in a Minneapolis suburb in the past 
couple of years, follow the gas line into the building and accumulate 
there.  In the Minneapolis case, the accumulated gas inside the building 
exploded and leveled the building, killing one person.
