Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA cold front, accompanied by numerous thunderstorms, moved through Arkansas on the 4th. The storms brought very frequent lightning, with more than 11,000 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes recorded in the state, along with some locally heavy rain, some street flooding, and small hail.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeLightning struck a pine tree, then traveled to the ground, where the electrical charge forked. One fork went to a workshop, knocking out the power and melting the breakers in the breaker box. The other fork traveled to a downspout on a house and then up along the gutter on the front of the house. Beams holding up the porch roof were splintered but remained enough intact to support the roof. The lightning then traveled to the flashing on the roof, subsequently setting fire to the roof vents and the roof. Water ran into the house, ruining expensive wood flooring and damaging some furnishings.
