⚡️ *Dramatic Lightning Strike Ignites House Fire in Ammanford!* ⚡️
A jaw-dropping moment from Ammanford as a bolt of lightning hit a house, sparking an intense fire! 🌩️🔥 Captured on camera by local resident Maggie Day, the footage shows the electrifying strike amid a fierce storm on May 27th.
🏡 The lightning targeted the roof of a semi-detached home in Carmarthenshire, causing flames to engulf the property. Despite the swift response of fire crews from Ammanford and surrounding areas, the damage was extensive, with the roof collapsing by morning. Fortunately, everyone in the house made a safe escape. 🙏
Firefighters worked through the night to control the blaze, which also affected a neighbouring property. A spokesperson from Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue praised the quick and effective response of the teams on the ground.
For those of us in the area, it was a night to remember, underscoring the raw power of nature during one of the fiercest thunderstorms we’ve seen in a long while! 🌧️⚡️
