Caused a ceiling fan to come crashing down. Looking at everything and realizing how serious this really was and could have been worse, it could have been worse. It could have blown my whole house up and my family was in it. I immediately got on the ground. She and her 7yearold grandson was in the front room with an uncle. It was like dropping grenades in front of you and letting them explode. The thunder and lightning caused a scare at Ohara Middle School up the street sending children running for cover but nobody was hurt. The strike came way too close. She was outside covering a load of hay with a tarp when the jolt knocked her right off her feet. I go, oh, god, thank you for not letting me die. Reporter and were back here live again. Youre looking at some of the damage that that lightning caused. The house remains without power tonight and were told it could take several weeks for the power to be restored, a city inspector will have to come out here and make sure everything is safe.
