event_narrativeThe Atlanta Journal and Constitution, along with the Gwinnett Daily Post, reported that lightning struck 19 homes, 2 apartments, an office park, and sparked several grass fires across the county. The office park, located in Lilburn on Beaver Ruin Road, sustained minor damage when the attic was set on fire. Of the 19 homes struck, significant damage was done to one on Cold Springs Drive in Lilburn. The entire attic of the home was engulfed in flames when the firefighters arrived. There were also two lightning related injuries in the county. A 41-year old female was injured while pumping gas at a Texaco station on Five Forks Trickum Road. She was barely able to move her arm for some time thereafter. A 14-year old girl was injured when lightning struck the metal rail on which she was leaning. Immediately, her hands and feet tingled and her head hurt. However, neither of the injuries was reported to be serious as the lightning strikes appeared to be secondary. The fire department reported that they received 97 lightning strike related calls during the 3 1/2 hours of thunderstorm activity.
