Neighbors FOX 10 News spoke with say they were pretty shaken up, when they heard what sounded like an explosion. “I just heard a loud boom! And a house had shaken” Allie Stevens said, who lives in the neighborhood. “But it rocked the whole neighborhood, I’ve never seen that.”Stevens says the neighborhood is pretty tight, and walked down to see what was going on.
“We don’t know what to do, we don’t even know what happened,” Stevens said. “We just know lightning. I’m surprised the house is still standing that was a big explosion.”“It’s too close, you know. Still shaken, you know. I know everybody here, it just, ahhh man that’s crazy,” Stevens said.Mobile Fire-Rescue haven’t confirmed that it was a lightning strike that started the fire.Download the FOX10 Weather App.
