Thanks to Chuck Harmon of Pelham for these images… he writes:
“Dear James
Wednesday afternoon at approximately 1830 hours, during one of those intense summer thunderstorms, our house received a direct lightning strike. I was in the bedroom directly under where it hit at the time, and needless to say it scared me badly. My poor cat cleared the bedroom door in two leaps from being sound asleep on the bed. Thankfully no one was injured, and the damage was fairly minimal, but feel free to use these pictures to warn people about how very dangerous lightening is.”
