[mysticobra]

It was a vacant house across the street, we contacted the owner and he does not seem concerned at all, but I bet it messed with the electrical system in there,no way it did not do any damage to it, that was a very strong strike! We watched it for awhile to see if it would catch fire but it never did, which was good.Too close for comfort, glad it hit that house and not mine! We got close to 10 inches of rain that night and a twister hit about 12 miles from here anddestroyed 6 or 7 houses, a friend of mine lived there, it got six houses and stopped at his, he was lucky.
