Lightning strikes West Lawrence home during strong storm
A west Lawrence home on Carmel Place was struck by lightning Tuesday evening as a severe storm rolled through the city. The bolt shattered dinning room switches and sent electricity through walls after the power surge alarmed the residence. Fire units checked for damage, while a separate gas leak in Eudora prompted evacuations near the 11th and Ash intersection. Authorities note prior leakage and possible vandalism at the valve, with Atmos Energy responding to the scene.
