Mary Bowerman of USA Today reports a lightning strike killed almost 20 cows in East Texas on Sunday, according to local reports.

The cows were huddled together beneath a tree during a storm, according to witness Victor Benson, KLTV reported.

“All of a sudden, a lightning bolt came down, and the cows just fell,” Benson told KLTV.

Benson told the news station, some of the cows got up and stumbled away, but others didn’t move.

The cows were killed in a lightning strike just days after more than 300 reindeer were killed by lightning during a storm in Norway.

Like the cows, the reindeer had congregated together during the storm on a mountain plateau.

Ashley Anderson, who owned the cows with her husband, said they were able to remove the bodies quickly and donated them to people who were able to use the meat.
