Yesterday evening Firefighters responded to a home fire caused by a lightning strike in the Timber Lakes Subdivision. Firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze but the home suffered heavy damage. One of the firefighters also suffered heat exhaustion and was treated on the scene.

That was the a couple of neighborhoods down from us - we saw the fire last night and it was pretty terrible - the attic was fully engulfed.
 
I rode past this morning on my bike - the house looks like a a total write off. It also damaged the roof of the house next door.
 
Very sad - everyone should verify their insurance cover - this is the second home in this same section of the Woodlands that has been destroyed by fire.
 
Thanks

Thanks for the update. Mother nature always tends to win out and there is just nothing you can do to plan for it. I feel bad for the owners but hopefully they had a solid insurance plan like you said.
