Evening Thunderstorm Brings Severe Lightning Strikes Causing Heavy Damage to a Home in Lancaster South Carolina

Afternoon showers turn into heavy thunderstorms leaving a home heavily damaged

It is not uncommon for afternoon showers to roll through South Carolina.  Sometimes these showers can produce a severe thunderstorm causing damage to homes, and businesses.  One evening the storm seemed to have taken on a severity that seemed to shake the house with every lightning strike.  This night the family was enjoying a family evening together.  Without any warning as is usually the case when lightning strikes, the sound was deafening as the strike had hit the roof, and traveled through the upstairs bathroom, and caused the wiring to catch fire.  The family was able to safely get out of the home, and while they huddled together, they watched the firemen extinguish the blazing fire in their home.
