Lightning hit my house

316 views Ranya Elmardi August 24, 2016 Edmonton, AB Date shot: August 9, 2016

It was Tuesday morning at 5:30 when we woke up at a strong thunder sounds. It was too scary and the house was shaking. The sound was too loud that I thought the lightning hit at the backyard. I checked the weather forecast and there was a severe thunderstorm alert for Edmonton city. I decided not to go to work and asked my husband to stay at home too. I didn't finish my words when we heard a big bang sounded like a bomb or gas explosion, the house was shaking and the dust was everywhere. At that moment we realized that our house was hit by the lightning. It was the most scariest moment ever in my whole life. The good thing is that kids were sleeping and we are all good and nobody was hurt. No fire was there but we end up with a damaged roof and the explosive surge had fried most of the appliances and the heating and ventilation systems. Wish us good luck with the insurance company.
