Lightning

by Pamela Parker

Lightning We had some excitement on my street last week. One of the neighbors’ house was struck by lightning and caught fire. Although the inside of the house was a royal mess - and unlivable - the fire department arrived very quickly and so the structure was not burned too badly. The roof of the house did not burn, which meant that you could see, very clearly, the giant, charred hole where the lightning had actually made contact. I wonder why we don’t regularly use lightning rods on houses around here?

This video shows a tree being struck by lightning at close range.

This video news report has footage of a minivan being struck by lightning while driving down a road.
