He heard a crack, saw flames in the ceiling, and pulled out extinguishers and a hose to stop it before firefighters arrived. Damage? Roughly $20K—$18K to the structure, $2K to contents. Investigators blame the lightning, specifically its impact on corrugated stainless steel tubing. The smoke alarm didn’t trigger immediately because the fire started in the ceiling space. No injuries, no arrests—just a freak accident that’s a stark reminder: nature’s raw power can overwhelm even our best tech.
