last night during a thunder storm my friend's house was struck by lightening. they (the kids, 16 and 18) were home alone when it struck. they live out in the middle of no where so firefighters didn't get there in time to save the house. the kids saved the cars, the dogs, and a few family albums and other small family relics. the firefighters had to tell them to stop going into the house. basically they only have to clothes there were wearing and that's it. please pray that they will get back on their feet.
