"I could hear it but I couldn't see it and finally I lost power, when I lost power the lightning struck, when the lightning struck I could see it was just less than a of a mile down here.

"I ran inside, got to the basement, made it downstairs and by the time I got downstairs we heard it hit.

"Once it hit, you knew it was bad but what made it worse was that I could smell all the insulation in the basement which meant my roof was gone."
