"Then in 1976, tugboat captain Billy Gramm, navigating the Detroit river during a storm, saw the bolt of lightning that touched the mansion. Although the fire department was called, their trucks could not navigate the narrow Grayhaven Bridge, and the mansion continued to burn until the roof collapsed."

I probably have notes on this somewhere, but i don't recall where i found this information.
