Lightning Strikes A House in Texas

The house across the street from me getting hit by lightning. Filmed on 4/23/2008 by my son Ryan Kemp. Their power was out so he came to my house to ride out the storm. He was watching the storm from my porch and caught this. This is in Cresson, Texas in Parker County.

That house was a vacant repo when it hit. Big house doesn't really mean big money. For a while it had hurricane Katrina people in it. And btw, I do donate to the poor. We get storms like that a lot.

what that the red spot on the window. wasnt the alarm?

[victoriakemp]

The power in that house is off, as it is vacant. The red spot or flash is burning roof shingles flying off into the front yard, it made MY house alarm go off though!

Oh wow, nice capture, but scary stuff!! I'm from Alabama, so we certainly get our share of storms, too. Glad there was no one in that house and glad you were safe, too!

GREAT footage you got. Pretty lucky to be in the right place at the right time. I love lightning storms... too bad we here in California don't get it so bad like you guys do.

Amazing lightning, we only get storms like that here in the UK about once every 5 years. Have not had one for a while. Maybe 2011 is our turn.
