A home was struck by lightning during a recent storm — causing its chimney to quickly crumble.
The residents, who preferred that they not be named, told SWNS that lightning struck the chimney on the top of their home just moments after they left to get lunch.The homeowners moved into their new house in 2020 and said the damage to their chimney has been severe — noting that bricks fell from the chimney onto their car below. Neighbors called the fire department after the 300-million-volt strike — then quickly called the homeowners to let them know what happened.
They also mentioned that the strike caused their neighbor to suffer damage to the home’s electrical equipment. “We’re not sure when the gas and electricity can be reconnected because the damage is so extensive,” they said.
