episode_narrativeIncredible lightning damage was done to a two-story home in Washington, Iowa during a thundersnow storm. Lightning struck the family's large television antenna tower, scattering pieces of it through the yard, then jumped to the house. Lightning damaged siding and knocked glass out of eight windows. The force of the surge caused light bulbs to explode, knocked out the telephone, and melted the fuse box. The lightning exited the home on the cold water pipe and caused it to burst, flooding the basement. Other damage: the exterior lead-in wire for the cable televison service was knocked from its connection and sent halfway across the yard; all four phones, the stove vent, and the air conditioning unit were damaged; the glass front on a clock in the basement was blown off; plates hanging on the wall were knocked down; and a piece of linoleum in the downstairs was buckled.
