Have to disagree with others this season is the worst in my 12 years here!
It is on my street of Evelynton Loop, probably about 400 feet though from my house at another part of the Loop.

There was an incredibly loud thunder clap at about 4:30 PM Saturday during the Netherlands vs. Brazil match I was watching. I prayed the TV would not get knocked out again.

So sorry for my fellow Evelynton Loopers.

My dog Beau and I just walked by it about 30 minutes ago and there is still a very strong smell of smoke.

This summer has seen the worst storms in this area of the Villages since we moved here in June of 2005. Our house was hit by a lightning strike last month but it just threw out the circuits-- fried them beyond repair-- and knocked out the cable (TV/Internet but not phone). We also probably lost the ice maker in the refrigerator.
