A couple living in a bungalow were forced to flee their home following a lightning strike that caused a fire.
The roof collapsed as a result of the blaze on Sunday and Lyn and Trevor Ellis, from Kidderminster, Worcestershire, lost all possessions.
They moved into the property in Sculthorpe Road 18 months ago.
Mrs Ellis, whose sister died two weeks ago, said lightning had hit an aerial, but she had thought two trains up the road crashed .
The grandmother, who was in the lounge, said: All of a sudden it went bang and I thought what s that?. I could smell burning. I went out.
