According to cbs11tv.com, last Friday, August 21st, a string of lightning bolts were responsible for setting fire to houses in both Fort Worth and Dallas.
One North Texas home owner, Scott Whitaker, told reporters, "We were moving in today," with emphasis placed on the 'were' part. Despite the damage to his new home, however, he was grateful that his children were not inside when it happened.
A neighbor reported the fire to 911, but the fire department might have gotten there sooner if Mr. Whitaker had had a wireless home security system with fire equipment monitoring.
At the very least, if one lives in a lightning-prone area, one should have a lightning rod to protect one's home.
