This customer avoided disaster by 10 minutes. They were out shopping, and when they returned, they found drywall and framing boards all over the living room, not to mention the burn marks on the carpet. This was the lowest house in the neighborhood.

This customer was visiting the next door neighbor on the hill above them and saw the lightning hit their house. They only had time to get the cars out and a few belongings - that’s it! It was a total loss.

Penetrated Gas Line:

Lightning hit this home's fireplace stack. It was such a light strike that there was no hole in the chimney cap, but was strong enough to penetrate this gas line. Luckily, the homeowner was present at the time to shut the gas off and track down the damaged line.

Chaparral Pines Home:

During this lightning storm, a tree next to the house got struck by lightning and then jumped to the house, resulting in a total loss. This scenario happens many times per year.
