As for  the card "lightning-stuck tower"--she senses that there's 
going to be  something bad happening on a tower---and that's a pretty 
good prediction  as it turns out... I assume this is a real card in 
the tarot deck---is  there deeper meaning with that card?

Sherrie here:
 
Interpretations vary depending on the author - but nearly all of them  
include the idea of the old being swept away suddenly to allow room for the new  to 
come in.
 
The only book I have to hand without getting up <g> is the one  accompanying 
the Tarot of the Old Path (one of my favorite decks), which states  for this 
card:
 
"DIVINATORY MEANING: A traumatic change that will lead to new  awareness.  
The collapse of old beliefs.  A change of opinion.   Outgrowing the present 
environment.   Ending a relationship.   Adversity.  Catastrophe.  Unhappiness.  
Chaos.   Deception.  Downfall.  Loss of security.  Financial loss.   Ruin.  
Destruction.  Transition.  Favourable new  opportunities.  Freedom/liberation only 
gained at some cost." (Card  designed, in this deck, by Janet and Stewart 
Farrar.)
 
A great deal of the interpretation rests also on the identification of the  
subject of the reading - who exactly was the Querent for whom Sybil was casting 
 here?
