Sometime later, The Villages Daily Sun reported that the house had been struck by lightning. This was on a clear, cool December night about 11:00pm.

When I called the reporter about the error, she said it was the headline writer that made the error, and she knew it wasn't caused by lightning. No correction was ever printed.

Cause of the fire according to neighbors: the golf cart caught fire while being charged. I'm just guessing that the golf cart was bought at The Villages Golf Carts.
and your point is?
