Family finished moving into their new home and 30 minutes and a lightning strike later it had been destroyed.
SLOCOMB, Ala. -A recently constructed Geneva County home was destroyed by fire that a lightning strike apparently ignited Saturday afternoon, only minutes after the occupants finished their move-in.
By the time firefighters arrived, flames engulfed the Geneva County Highway 49 home, with heat from the flames so intense that firefighters had to park their engines a distance away. “This was a brand-new home and the family had just dropped the last truck load of belongings off 30 minutes before lightning struck the home,” Slocomb Fire and Rescue said in a Facebook post.
Several departments responded, with some needed for water supply because a lock had been placed on a hydrant near the fire.

County Executive Chris Ronayne has proposed a 40-year extension of the county’s quarter-percent sales tax. That needs to be fully and fairly debated, also. Anything less would be a betrayal of the public interest, writes the editorial board of The Plain Dealer and cleveland.com.
