Fortunately, no substantial damage nor fire, but apparently my brother Daren and his wife, Karen were home at the time of the storm. They heard a loud bang and commented to themselves that "it sounded pretty close". Little did they know until later on that a lightning bolt struck the roof and created a 6" hole. They had gone outside later and noticed some roofing shingles lying on the ground. As they were taking it all in, one of their neighbors walked over and thanked them "for taking one for the neighborhood! "
Their computers didn't get fried, and they only had to replace their cordless phone and of course repair the whole in the roof and replace the shingles. They live in a development that is only a few years old. It was once farmland (of course 
) and there aren't that many trees around.
