Fire by lightning strike in Baton Rouge, La

Any home or business owner in South Louisiana takes a risk at becoming a victim of lightning strikes during any season. The Baton Rouge, LA area is especially vulnerable due to its proximity to the warm water of the Gulf of Mexico. A lightning strike can be quite devastating to whatever it chooses to strike, especially a home. As seen in the pictures, this home caught fire after a lightning bolt entered the attic. It not only caused fire damage, but also some pretty significant electrical damage as well. Team SERVPRO was called out within a few hours of the loss.
