| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A lightning strike damaged a home in Hopewell Township on Caroline Drive during the early morning of the 27th. Odors of smoke and natural gas filled the home. The lightning strike apparently struck the home's natural gas meter. It traveled along the natural gas line into the laundry room (the dryer) and arced between that pipe and a water pipe. The arc generated so much heat that it soldering on both pipes melted and allowed natural gas and water to flow. The lightning also caused extensive damage to the home's electrical system. but no fire occurred. |
