Heavy Thunderstorms Damaged a Home in Lancaster South Carolina When Struck by Lightning

11/15/2019 (Permalink)

The lightning strike hit with enough voltage to go through the roof and into the living room.

The evening was filled with high winds, rain, and heavy rounds of lightning strikes. Any one of these elements can cause major damage to a home, or business.  A tree falling on a home or business can bring the rains into the home, or business causing water damage, and as we see in the south, lightning strikes are an unfortunate part of a storm rolling through.  With a lightning strike on a home or business the level of the incident suddenly moves to a whole new level.  You now have lightning damage, which includes fire damage, and water damage.  Bottom line, it is quite overwhelming to process how one lightning strike can cause so much damage. One lightning strike can cause enough damage to render the home, or business uninhabitable until repairs are completed.
