Lightning strikes tree near family’s home in Columbus
COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) – A lightning strike hits a little too close to home for a Lowndes County family.
The family’s home escaped damage when a bolt of lightning struck a tree near the house.
A firefighter on the scene told WCBI, the lightning travelled into the house to a ceiling fan.
That tripped a circuit breaker, which kept it from shorting out and starting a fire.
