Lightning Strikes Home Electrical Box in Kimball

Deputies responded to call of a possible house fire early Wednesday morning in Kimball.

54-year-old Charles Nystrom and 55-year-old Vickie Fosjord believe the home was struck by lightning when they heard a loud boom from outside and could start to smell smoke. 

Kimball Fire a Rescue didn’t locate any fires or hazards, but found that the electrical box on the northeast corner of the home was struck by lightning.  Deputies also found a large hole blown through the siding on the north side of the home.

No one was injured during the event.
