Sometimes, Acts of God are bizarre and that is what happened recently when a storm struck Ghislain in Belgium. Lightning struck the same place, not once, but four times near a data center owned by Google. Following the storm, Google experienced heavy read / write errors between 13 Aug to 17-Aug, 2015, and a small data loss at its Google Compute Engine Data Center in the europe-west1-b zone. What was it that they said? Lightning does not strike twice?
