Scott Home Hit by Lightning

Joey Richard went to check on a friends house during yesterdays storms, only to get a call saying his house had been hit by lightning and was on fire.

"Some of the neighbors had come over because a lot of the neighbors had also heard the lightning. So they were all outside checking their homes to see if it was their home that got hit too," Richard said.

When he returned home, first responders were already there battling the fire. The fire started in a closet and worked its way into the attic. Richard had 14-16 inches of fire retardant insulation put in the house and he says that was a big reason why his house was able to be saved.

"That few hundred dollars probably saved me thousands of dollars in the long run," Richard said.
