was intense lightning in the
area at the time of the fire, but
the fire department wanted to
rule out any accidental causes.
“We determined it was
weather-related, a lightning
strike,” he said. “There was
physical evidence and hot pat
terns where the fire was at, plus
we had plenty of witnesses say
they thought (the lightning) hit
them (the apartments).”
The fire began in an upstairs
apartment and then spread to a
second unit, Humphreys said.
Graduate student Stan
Glagolenko said he was doing
homework when he heard a
loud bang.
“Everything just shut
down,” he said.
No one in the one-bedroom
apartment where the fire start
ed was home at the time of the
fire, but Adrienne Bailey, the
apartment manager, said she
has contacted the residents and
they have arranged for places
to stay.
“1 wanted to make sure every
one was OK and to get every
thing taken care of,” she said.
Bailey said the insurance
company has been contacted
and is qs,ses f sing the damage.
The completion date for the
apartment repair is unknown at
this time.
Humphreys said the fire
department responded to 10
weather-related calls between
9 p.m. and 1 1 p.m Tuesday
night.
Fires caused by lightning
are uncommon in College
Station, Humphreys said.
“It is what insurance compa
nies call ‘acts of God,’” he said.

Meyer said the emergency
protocol does not apply solely
to terrorist-related issues.
“The topics covered are
intended to be for a variety of
emergencies, including severe
weather or chemical spills.
They are most definitely not
specific to terrorist attacks,”
Meyer said. “It is important
that we do not lose focus and
think of only terrorist threats
when spring weather is coming
with tornado watches, a far
more likely event than any ter
rorist threat.”
Meyer compiled the infor
mation, but the plan was a joint
effort between EHSD, UPD
