A few days ago, during the horrible lightening storm, I was cowering at home from the lightening and the non-stop thunder storming. It was truly frightening. I went to window several times (which I probably shouldn’t have) to see the action. The last time I looked, I saw a huge bolt of lightening followed immediately by a loud boom and a tinkling sound. I stepped away from the window and ran around the house to see which window broke. It happened to be a neighbor’s house across the street with a fire on their roof.
Thank God that the fire trucks were there quickly and efficiently putting out the fire tho not without damage to the roof and windows. Thank God everyone was safe!
Long story short, I thank God we installed our lightening rods or else it could’ve been us (it was that close!).

Is it possible to PM me the address or tell us which Village this happened in so the study group can log it? We can check the fire department records to make sure it was coded properly.
