Lightning during a storm on Friday evening struck a property in Matney.
Rebecca Ward and her family were sitting in their home watching TV around 8:30 pm when they saw the lightning bolt hit.
She shared with WataugaOnline, “Lots of thunder in the area, then we saw the lightning bolt hit, then makes loud boom and lost all power at the time.”
She shared photos of the holes the strike left in the ground and added “This one hole was within feet of gas jugs.”
